Family Bowles; Family; Abney Grange and Chapel-en-le-Frith DS/UK/M/3913 Bowles Bowles Family Abney Grange and Chapel-en-le-Frith Abney Grange and Chapel-en-le-Frith The Bowles family claimed descent from King Edward II through their connections with the Burton and Borough families. The family owned estates at Abney and in Chapel en le Frith centred on Bradshaw Hall. An interest in family and local history was promoted by two family members, Charles Eyre Bradshaw Bowles and William Henry Bowles. The latter privately published his 'Records of the Bowles Family' which is of particular interest because of the destruction by fire in Wirksworth in 1901 of the family home which contained many original family papers. The Bowles family purchased in 1864 property in Abney, including Abney Grange from Col. Charles Leslie, who had claimed the estates of the Eyres of Hassop.
