Bishop John Bowthe was a native of Cheshire and held the see of Exeter for nearly 13 years. His consecration took place on July 7, 1465. Exeter Cathedral's episcopal throne was erected at his expense. It forms a noble monument of his liberality and architectural discrimination. Dr George Oliver in his History of Exeter erroneously stated that Bishop "Booth" was buried in the church of St Clement Danes, London. He died at East Horsley, Surrey, where there is a splendid brass monument in St Martin, parish church, to his memory.
