Sir Edmund Ernest Nott-Bower, KCB (born Bower; 18 August 1853 – 14 September 1933) was a British civil servant.
Born on 18 August 1853,[1] he was the son of Dr John Bower; Ernest's brother was Sir William Nott-Bower, who served as Commissioner of the City of London Police. Ernest was surnamed Bower until 1913, when he adopted the surname Nott-Bower, as his brother had done by royal licence in 1911.[2]
In 1886, Bower was called to the bar, and in 1895 he became assistant secretary to the Board of Inland Revenue. He was a Commissioner of Inland Revenue from 1902 to 1908, then was Deputy Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue from 1908 to 1914, when he became its Chairman, serving until 1918.[2] He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1909 Birthday Honours[3] and promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) in the 1915 New Year Honours.[4]
Nott-Bower died on 14 September 1933. His wife Louisa, née Yorke, had died in 1925; they left a son and daughter.[2]
