Abstract

Arthur Lyon Bowley1 was born on 6 November 1869 in Bristol. The family had settled there five years earlier when his father, James William Lyon Bowley, was appointed vicar of St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol. They originated from London where James was born in 1826. He first took employment in a smith’s shop, then as a clerk in a drapery and in 1846, after much private study, was appointed as assistant master at a Totteridge school. He clearly had great reserves of energy and self-discipline (qualities his son inherited) for once installed in his teaching position he furthered his quest for greater learning by early morning study of the classics.
