Goldsmith to Queen Elizabeth and Lord Mayor of London. Also Master of the Coinage for Henry VIII and Master of the Mint for Queen Elizabeth. He was also known as Martyn Bowes. He was known for his debasement of English money.
"Was buried the Right Worshipful Sir Martyn Bowes, Knight, in the vault in the high choir. The mouth of the vault is a foot within the end of the marble stone or tomb straight down, closed up with brick to be broken down with a pickaxe before you can see the coffin"
"till their surpression in the reign of Henry VIII, who soon after in the 31st year of his reign granted it to Sir Martyn Bowes, in whose family the right of patronage hath continued ever since. Sir Martyn Bowes, Goldsmith and Mayor of London Anno 1545, died August 4, 1566 and with Cecily Eliot, Dame Anne and Dame Elizabeth, his wives, was buried under a goodly marble close tomb under the communion table."
As Lord Mayor in 1546 Bowes helped interrogate Anne Askew in the Tower. She was an evangelical minister and was arrested in a plot to destroy Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Queen Catherine Parr, wife of Henry VIII. Anne was stretched on the rack until the Lord Lieutenant refused to go on and went to inform Henry VIII. Meanwhile the "traditionalists" tortured her themselves. She refused to be an informer and had to be carried to her execution in a chair because she was unable to walk. She was burned at the stake. She was later declared a Christian Martyr.
