Back on 12th March 1857, Samuel Bowman of Rook Tree Farm in Stotfold bought the mill at Astwick where one of his son James founded the firm in the same month. In addition to this mill and a mill in Hitchin, the Bowman’s family finally purchased the Ickleford Mill in 1914.
Today Bowman’s are regarded as one of the UK’s leading flour millers, and the premier specialist in thermal treatment technology. Additionally there is Bowman Ingredients where they make ingredient systems for foodservice and retail customers.
Bowman’s has maintained strong links with the village and has always supported local village organisations including the Cricket Club, School and Pre-School.
