About Thomas Newlin

Lived 1688 – 1744 (aged 55–56). Thomas Newlin was a British cleric.

Thomas Newlin (1688–1743) was an English cleric, known as a preacher.

Life The son of William Newlin, rector of St. Swithin's, Winchester, he was baptised there 29 October 1688. From 1702 to 1706 he was a scholar of Winchester College, and was elected demy of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1706. He graduated B.A. 26 June 1710, M.A. 7 May 1713, and B.D. 8 July 1727. He was a fellow of Magdalen from 1717 to 1721.

Newlin frequently preached in Latin and English before the university. While his general reputation was apparently good, he had a critic in Thomas Hearne, who said "if he would not print he might pass for a tolerable preacher". On 27 September 1720 he was presented to the college living of Upper Beeding, Sussex.

Family Newlin married Susanna, daughter of Martin and Sarah Powell of Oxford (died 18 September 1732). They had no children. They repaired the ancient priory of Sele, held with the living of Beeding, in 1724 at their own expense.
