He was educated at Cowbridge Grammar School and Jesus College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor in 1822, an Master of Arts in 1824, a Bachelor of Civil Law in 1827 and a Data Control Language in 1829.
Career
Whilst studying at Oxford, he was ordained deacon in 1822 and priest in 1823 by the bishop of Oxford. Lewellin was, in 1826, offered, and accepted, the headmastership of Bruton Grammar School, Somerset. Instead of taking this up, however, he went to Saint David’s College (now the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David), as its first principal in 1827 and held the post until his death in Lampeter, where he is also buried.
