Stephen B. Cox has spent his life as an artist (painter and sculptor);   a writer of  many books and hundreds of articles (on subjects such as history, folklore, freemasonry, heritage, spirituality and tradition) ;  building up a unique library related to these matters (to which many publishers and individuals have donated);   developing a garden of spirituality and meditation and nature harmony;  and to  teaching and helping people to enable lives of harmony, spirituality, tolerance and peace along the lines of his guides for spiritual living. 

He is a member of the Design & Artists Copyright Society, and the Authors Licensing & Copyright Society. He has served his local community in the realms of crime fighting & home security;   Neighbourhood Watch;  community arts;   Freemasonry;   local history;  state education;   and  by offering & running scholarships & placements.

In a private capacity he is pleased to support The Woodland Trust;  The Ramblers Association;  and The Council for the Protection of Rural England by being a member of these. He is now retired due to ill health and is a part-time carer for his elderly & disabled mother.

He now wishes to conserve and better manifest these collections, works and teachings for the benefit of others and to be an ongoing testament and facility in the years to come, including after his death.

It is therefore proposed that there will be established in the near future a Trust in his name, which will bring focus and support to bear on those matters.
