Early Origins of the Bowet family

The surname Bowet was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat.

The name is quite scarce. One of the first records of the family was Henry Bowet LL.D. (d. 1423), Bishop of Bath and Wells, and subsequently Archbishop of York. He "was apparently a member of a knightly family that, about his time, migrated from the north to the eastern counties. His father was buried at Penrith, his mother in Lincolnshire. His kinsfolk mostly lived in Westmorland. " 1
