Sir William Bowman

Erection date: 2019

Inscription

Sir William Bowman, 1816 - 1892, ophthalmic surgeon and anatomist, lived here.
English Heritage

Site: Pavlova and Bowman (2 memorials)

NW11, North End Way, Ivy House

In 2018 a high fence removed the Pavlova plaque from view. But at about the time the Bowman plaque was erected in 2019 the height of the fence was reduced and we can now see them both.

There is a statue of Pavlova by Tom Merrifield outside the house and in the pond there's a statue by George Henry Paulin.
