_The Lowey of Tunbridge_ (Vol. iv., p. 294.).--There still is, I
believe, a district known by this name. In order to save the valuable
space in "NOTES AND QUERIES," I will merely refer E. N. W. for
information respecting it to the following works:
"A Perambulation of Kent; written in the yeere 1570 by William
Lambarde of Lincolnes Inn, Gent. Imprinted at London by Edm.
Bollisant, 1596."--Page 425.
This first I believe to be a somewhat scarce book.
"A Topographie or Survey of the County of Kent. By Richard
Kilburne, London, 1659."--Pp. 276, 277.
"Tunbridge Wells and its Neighbourhood. By Paul Amsinck, Esq.,
London, 1810."--Pp. 97-99.
There are incidental notices of Tunbridge Lowey in Hasted's _History of
Kent_. From the _Parliamentary Gazetteer_ I extract the following (to
which my attention has been directed by a friend):--
"Tunbridge Lowey, a division in the Lathe of Aylesford, County of
Kent. Area, 20,660 acres; houses, 2,072; population in 1831,
12,233."
In 1841 the census returns for that district gave a population of
14,638.
There is also, I believe, another "Lowey," viz. that of Pevensey.
