Bowra's father was a keen amateur genealogist, and the family journal traced the surname to beohr or bur, the Anglo-Saxon words for hill and cottage. He also noted its variants. It became Borer or Borrer in Sussex, Boorer in Surrey, and Bowra in Kent. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the family prospered under the patronage of the Sackvilles of Knole. One Bowra excelled as the opening batsman in the Duke of Dorset's private cricket team. In the 1920s, when Maurice Bowra visited Knole as the guest of Edward Sackville-West, he was therefore treading in the footsteps of ancestors. Providentially, on these visits, he was not asked to play cricket. Among the English Bowras, the most remarkable was Edward, Maurice Bowra's great-grandfather, who was credited with the invention of both the mackintosh and the gym shoe., Books<
