About Bowes
- Bowes has a direct connection to Charles Dickens and the novel Nicholas Nickleby. In 1838 Dickens visited the village to investigate the notorious "Yorkshire schools" — cheap boarding schools where unwanted children were sent and frequently mistreated. The Shaw's Academy in Bowes, run by William Shaw, was the model for Dotheboys Hall in the novel, and Shaw himself was the inspiration for the villainous Wackford Squeers. Dickens was appalled by what he found and the publication of Nicholas Nickleby the following year caused a public scandal that effectively destroyed the Yorkshire school trade. The grave of a former pupil, George Ashton Taylor, who died at the school aged nineteen, can be seen in Bowes churchyard.
