Durham) English art collector and thoroughbred racehorse owner who founded the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, Teesdale. Bowes was a reformer in politics, in favour of triennial Parliaments and the removal of Bishops from the House of Lords. He was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament, for the South Durham constituency, between 1832 and 1847. He also served as High Sheriff of Durham in 1852. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, John Bowes pursued an interest in theatre, art, and horse racing. A member of the Jockey Club, he owned Streatlam Stud that bred and raised racehorses at Streatlam and Gibside. His stable won the 2,000 Guineas Stakes three times, The Derby four times, and, in capturing the English Triple Crown with West Australian, won the 1853 St. Leger Stakes. As one of the largest landowners in England, he developed a number of business interests, initially concerning his extensive coal mine holdings. Charles Mark Palmer managed his collieries at Marley Hill and later opened the Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company at Jarrow, in which Bowes was a partner. The first major vessel built was the pioneer iron steam collier John Bowes. John Bowes was Freemason and was admitted as a joining member of Palatine Lodge No. 97, Sunderland, October 1845. In 1877 (marriage settlement 24 July 1877), Bowes remarried one Alphonsine Maria St. Amand, divorced wife of the Comte de Courten. The second marriage did not turn out well, and it appears that John Bowes was attempting to obtain a divorce from his wife from March to May 1884. Indeed, it was subsequently reported to have been legally severed in May 1885. Alphonsine may have been mother of the Italian artist Angelo de Courten (1848 1925). Bowes died childless in October 1885 at Streatlam, and was interred next to his first wife at Gibside. It had been intended that they would be reinterred in a Catholic chapel at the Bowes Museum, but this was never completed. DISBOUND PAMPHLET. NO COVERS. MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL PHOTO IMAGES AVAILABLE.
