Calverley Bewicke (26 June 1755 – 24 October 1815) was an English commander of the Durham Militia and an MP for Winchelsea from 1806 to 1816.

Life

Bewicke was born on 26 June 1755 one of twelve children of Sir Robert Bewicke of Close House and Urpeth, and his wife, Mary Huish, daughter of Robert Huish.

He was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne. From 1773 he attended University College, Oxford.

In 1779, he rebuilt the family home of Close House following his marriage.[1]
