Location:

This lovely old house which for several hundred years must have been one of the most attractive and prominent features of the village and familiar to all, is now hidden away behind the shops and known to only a few. It doesn’t seem to have changed its name over the years but has always been called Bowers. Where Carlton Road meets Sun Lane, there used to be Bowers Hall Farm (later known as Starvegut Hall when it was in a very run-down condition) and it seems possible that the two were associated and took their names from a John atte Boure, who bought a messuage and half a carucate of land from John Coter the younger, in 1391. From him this holding passed to Roger Bower, and in 1528 it was held by William Cressy and later by Edward Brocket. Some of the Brocket property came to the Bardolphs and may have included Bowers.
