Amble and Hauxley. By J. C Hodgson. 269 



Lewin's Estate. — This name neither appears in the list of 

 copyholders, nor in the number of complainants in the lawsuit 

 of 1615 ; but in 1619 Nicholas Lewins'= of Bamburgh devised to 

 his cousin John Lewins of Alemouth, his house and malt kiln 

 in Warkworth. In 1628 and 1639 Thos. Lewin of Warkworth 

 appears in list of freeholders.^® 



That he was a man of property and position may be seen from 

 particulars of a lawsuit in which he at this time engaged.

 the suit of Thomas Lewen, gent. complainant,against Sir "William
