Lowry and Geoffrey Bennett met in 1926 when Bennett worked as a clerk with Lowry's cousin, Grace Shephard, at the London and County Westminster Bank in Manchester. When Bennett married and moved to Cumbria, Lowry would visit regularly. Bennett was ordinated into the Anglican Church in 1962 and become known to Lowry as the 'Reverend Gentleman'. When Lowry died in 1976, Reverend Bennett conducted the funeral service. In 1995, Christie's sold a collection of works from Geoffrey Bennett's estate.
