Henry Bowman (architect)

Henry Bowman (1814–1883) was an English church architect and architectural historian.

[1] Bowman worked as an architect in Manchester, from 1840 to about 1883, in partnership with Joseph Stretch Crowther.

The brass lectern at Christchurch, Brockham is dedicated to his memory.

[4] He was joint author with James Hadfield of Ecclesiastical Architecture of Great Britain, from the Conquest to the Reformation, 1845; and with his partner, J. S. Crowther, of The Churches of the Middle Ages, 1857.

Bowman and Crowther trained a number of younger architects, including Thomas Worthington, John Garrard Elgood, and possibly Edward Salomons.
