  • Note 1:

  • The Bowles family ( fl. c. 1714 - 1832 ) were publishers and map sellers active in London from c. 1714 to c. 1832. The firm, under Thomas Bowles ( fl. 1714 - 1763), John Bowles (1701-1779), Carrington Bowles (1724 - 1793), and as Bowles and Carver (fl. 1794 - 1832), produced a massive corpus of work that included numerous atlases, pocket maps , and wall maps. The Bowles publishing tradition was kept alive over four generations starting with Thomas Bowles who was a print engraver in the late 17th century. The first maps issued by the firm were actually produced by his son, Thomas Bowles the second, who based in self in St. Paul's Churchyard, London. Thomas's brother, John Bowles (called "Old John Bowles" or "Black Horse Bowles" by those who knew his shop), was also an active publisher and was established at no. 13 Cornhill. It is said that he was one of the first publishers of William Hogarth's works. It was here that John's son, Carrington Bowles, was introduced to the trade. Carrington took over the Cornhill bookshop and eventually merged it with his uncles shop in St. Paul's Churchyard. On Carrington's death in 1793, the business was passed to his son Henry Carrington Bowles, who partnered with Samuel Carver, renaming the firm, Bowles and Carver. Under this imprint the firm continued to publish maps and atlases until the early 1830s.

  • Note 3:

  • The Camilla Parker-Bowles Connection:

    In 1799 Henry Carrington Bowles married Anne Garnault, a member of a wealthy Huguenot family connected to the New River Company. She inherited Bowling Green House in Enfield from her brother Daniel Garnault in 1809. The Bowles tore the old house down and built a new home beside it. Myddelton House, named in honor of Sir Hugh Myddelton was completed in 1818.

    Unfortunately, only two of Henry and Anne's five children had children to continue the line and both were daughters thus ending the direct male Bowles of Myddelton line. Their daughter, Anne Sarah, who inherited the house, married Edward Treacher and had a son, Henry Carrington Treacher who in his turn assumed the name Henry Carrington Bowles Bowles (not a typo) in 1852 in order to meet the inheritance requirements for Myddelton House as a Bowles. Thus the line continued in a succession sense but not in the genetic male line.

    Henry Carrington Bowles Bowles was a Justice of the Peace for Middlesex county and was also the last Governor of the New River Company. His son Henry Ferryman Bowles was a Justice of the Peace for Middlesex county, the Member of Parliament for Enfield, Middlesex from 1889-1905 and then again from 1918-22 and was the Major of the 7th Battalion Rifle Brigade. In 1895 Henry Carrington bought the nearby 17th century mansion called Forty Hall for his son who later gained the title of 1st Baronet Bowles of Forty Hall, Enfield. Henry Ferryman Bowles also only had daughters to pass his name on to so his son-in-law Eustace Parker assumed the additional surname of Bowles by Royal License in 1920. Their grandson, Andrew Henry Parker-Bowles married Camilla Shand in 1973; they were divorced in 1995 and Camilla went on to marry Prince Charles. It should be noted that Camilla Parker-Bowles is actually a Shand and the Parker-Bowles themselves while being the hereditary holders of the Bowles name are actually Bowles on the maternal side only and that Bowles line actually descended from Treachers in the previous generation (as mentioned above). The male Bowles line ended with Henry Carrington Bowles in 1830.

  • A London goldsmith and member of the House of Commons, Hugh Myddelton, while sitting on a Commons committee looking at the problem of the water shortage in London, offered to undertake a scheme to bring water from Amwell Springs 38 miles away in Hertfordshire through Enfield to Islington. Work began on the New River in 1609 and was completed in 1613. King James I, despite falling into the water during an inspection of the work, knighted Myddelton in 1622. A lot of investors in the New River Company did very well with the success of this project including the Garnaults, who owned Bowling Green House along the path of the New River at Enfield in Hertfordshire. When Daniel Garnault died in 1809, the ownership of the property went to his sister, Anne, and thus to Henry Carrington Bowles. They decided to knock down the old Bowling Green House and built a new home beside it. Myddelton House, named in honor of Sir Hugh Myddelton, was completed in 1818.
