William Lowe

William Henry Lowe (30 August 1831 – 30 July 1862), was a British district magistrate and collector of the district of Bulandshahr, during British rule of India. He led the funding of the construction of the All Saints Church in Bulandshahr. The Lowe memorial building by the district magistrate's court in Bulandshahr was named for him. He died at age 30 of natural causes.

Early life and family William Lowe was born on 30 August 1831 in Calcutta, to John Lowe. He married a daughter of Sir William Muir. Elizabeth Huntley was his only daughter.

Career Lowe succeeded George Hamilton Freeling as district magistrate and collector for the district of Bulandshahr. In that role he led the funding of the construction of All Saints Church on the far west side of the town Bulandshahr. It was completed in 1864 and later described by the subsequent collector F. S. Growse as a "pretty little building" with the caretakers accommodation as a "practical joke". The traditional story has been that the boy was brought to the attention of Bulandshahr's district magistrate after hunters discovered the child in a cave in the district of Bulandshahr. This magistrate has been cited as being Lowe. However, Lowe had died five years earlier. Prideaux requested the name of the magistrate and further details of the wolf boy. Prideaux noted that no official report on the story existed, and the year and Officer's name was given from a recollection sufficiently long after to question its accuracy. He is buried in the chancel of Bulandshahr's All Saints Church, which had been commissioned by his widow. The inscription read; This building has been erected by the Europeans and native-official and non-official residents of the station and district as a token of their respect and esteem, and as a memorial of the late William Henry Lowe, Esquire, who died while collector of this district on the 30th of July 1862, AD.
