William Bowles, Thomas Ogden and George Wyndham, all of Salisbury, later joined by James Barrow, were partners in the banking firm of Bowles, Ogden and Wyndham, of Salisbury and Shaftesbury. Ogden was a Salisbury merchant of considerable repute, having been appointed George III’s official draper in 1786; Barrow was a former brewer from Sherborne who removed to Shaftesbury. The bank failed in the summer of 1810 - see footnote to Lot 123
