Early Origins of the Bewet family

The surname Bewet was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat.

The name is quite scarce. One of the first records of the family was Henry Bowet LL.D. (d. 1423), Bishop of Bath and Wells, and subsequently Archbishop of York.

His kinsfolk mostly lived in Westmorland. " 1
