S1 BOWES: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1890.
Mother - Aske Hall - Elizabeth was born on 1505 and died on 1568
was Marshal of Berwick and a supporter of Elizabeth 1 at the time of
The Rising of the North in 1569.
The manors of Lunedale, about 8 miles west of Barnard Castle, and Mickleton and others were purchased by Sir
George Bowes (of Streatlam Castle) in 1560 from the Marquis of
Northampton. Wemmergill Hall, now demolished, was on the northern
slopes of Lunedale, and was the favourite shooting box of the 12th Earl
of Strathmore.
Because of the failure of the elder male line, he succeeded to the family estates. He was knighted in 1558, and was appointed Governor of Barnard Castle. He distinguished himself in the suppression of the Rising of the North, in 1569, and earned for himself an unenviable notoriety for the relentless cruelty with which he pursued the fugitive and defenceless rebels. There was scarcely a village in the north in which there were not executed one or more of the inhabitants for participation in the rising. Sir George was twice married and left a numerous family.
