particularly in London. His work often required complex negotiations with English Heritage and council planners. Bowerbank's work included the headquarters for Radiodetection in Bristol, work on Redcliffe Mews in London and Howabreck House on Orkney. In 1990, he won an English Heritage award for his renovation work on The Convent in Stourhead, Wiltshire, which was Grade I listed. Personal life From an early age, Bowerbank was an amateur ornithologist. He rarely talked about his professional work, preferring instead to talk about literature, philosophy and the European Union, the latter being a subject on which he was a firm critic. At the time of Bowerbank's death he was engaged to Emma Soames, granddaughter of Winston Churchill and then the editor of The Daily Telegraph magazine. Bowerbank's great uncle was Sir Fred Thompson Bowerbank, Hon. Physician to King George VI. For 25 years, Bowerbank had a home on the island of Orkney, Viera Lodge, where he entertained friends from London and engaged in his love of ornithology. Bowerbank died in his sleep in Notting Hill on 25 April 2002, aged 61.
