Arms-NEWCOMEN

"The record of the Newcomen family, in the Collage of Arms, begins with Hugo Newcomen of Saltfleetby, Lincolnshire fl. ca. 1190; the next important record is of Sir Robert Newcomen of London, grandson of Brian Newcomen of Saltfleetby, he was created a baronet on the 30th December, 1625, the title became extinct on the death of Sir Thomas Newcomen, 8th baronet on the 27th. April 1789. From this family was directly descended Elias Newcomen of Stoke Fleming in Devon, whose great grandson Thomas Newcomen, born at Dartmouth, was the inventor of the steam engine. The Newcomen house at Theddlethorpe, Lincolnshire was only demolished about 1840 and the Newcomen tombs in the chancel at Theddlethorpe All Saints are clearly marked. But at Saltfleetby where the family appeared to have lived a matter of some 600 years there is only one identifiable Newcomen tomb that of Margaret, dating from the 15th century and situated just below the rood screen in the nave, at Saltfleetby All Saints.
