Crawford was born about 1834, the son of Jeremiah Bowen and Sarah Norton Cole, at Handford, Staffordshire. He took holy orders in 1859, being ordained priest at York, the following year. For 2 years he was curate at Skelton in Cleveland and was subsequently curate at Guisborough and Gainford until 1870, when he was preferred to the living at Bolam. He was the composer of Bowen's Te Deum and was well known as an enthusiastic organist. He was also keenly interested in astronomical science and gave lectures on astronomy.
