Life and Times of Other Lewis Windsor

Son of Other 2nd earl and Elizabeth

m. (1730) Elizabeth Lewis (d. 1733) daughter and sole heir of Thomas Lewis of St
Fagans, Glamorgan and Soberton .

One child Other Lewis (1731 - 1771).

It was through Elizabeth that St Fagans castle came into the Windsor family. The third
creation of the earls of Plymouth used it as a summer home. In 1947 the family gave it
to the national Museum of Wales since when it has become St Fagans Natural History
Museum. As such it is well worth a visit, the house contains some artefacts that came
from Hewell, when the last named was turned into a Borstal.
