The family of Tozer were smiths in Bow for 500 years. Tozer's smithy was situated opposite the old schoolhouse & was used by them until 1880 when the last of the family left the village & the smithy was taken over by Metherell. The site of the smithy was subsequently occupied by two houses with a plaque bearing the name 'Tozers' erected in 1928. The land to the south of the smithy, now the site of a large Hall, was bequeathed to the Parish in 1614 by the sisters & niece of Robert Tozer.
