George Bowes (MP for County Durham)
Sir George Bowes (21 August 1701 – 17 September 1760) was an English coal proprietor and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons for 33 years from 1727 to 1760.[2] Horace Walpole, years later, implied that she had died as a result of Bowes' sexual vigour ("the violence of the bridegroom's embraces").At the 1727 British general election, Bowes was returned unopposed as Whig Member of Parliament for County Durham.[4] Bowes married as his second wife Mary Gilbert on 14 June 1743/44 at St Botolph's, Aldersgate, City of London.Lord Strathmore built a mausoleum chapel in the grounds, in Palladian style, in which Bowes was finally interred on its completion in 1812.
