I have detailed information about the following Lowcock family associated with inventions and products.
- Lowcock Plough: a type of turnwrest plough, invented by Henry Lowcock
- Lowcock’s Lemonade: a soft drink brand
- Lowcock Mill: a hydro-electric mill located in Linton, Yorkshire
- Lowcock Fuel Economiser: for fuel efficiency in steam engines
- Lowcock Razor: a straight razor, made by George Lowcock
- CF Lowcock (Charles Frederick): A British painter from the Victorian/Edwardian era
- Lowcock War Memorial: pages dedicated to those who served
It’s possible that there is a family connection between the Lowcock Plough, Fuel Economizer and Lowcock Razor – you can read my notes here. I am absolutely not saying there is a connection, it’s very speculative. Help is needed!
I also have some very rough research on those with the Lowcock surname who were Freemasons. This research is basic at best, and all help is welcome.
People with the surname Lowcock who I almost have no information about but I am keen to learn more:

If you have any information or can give me more advice, insights, help please contact me.
If the Lowcock invention, brand, or product is not listed here that just means I don’t know about it yet! I’m more than happy to add it to this page.
I do not own any of the items mentioned on the site or have original records. If you own any and are considering selling them, please contact me.
