Early life
Hewer was born in Swindon on February 17th. Mary Patricia Hewer (née Jamison; 1918-1999) and his father, John David Radbourn Hewer (1915–2010), were both senior partners of Hewer, Spriggs, and Wilson, a veterinary clinic in Swindon's Old Town neighborhood. They met in Dublin when both were university students. The family lived in Old Town and Hewer was educated at Clongowes Wood College, a Jesuit boarding school in County Kildare, Ireland. Hewer has two sisters and two brothers.
John Radbourn Hewer, Hewer's grandfather, began as a surgeon in Swindon in 1912. Oswald Jamison, his maternal grandfather, was High Sheriff of Belfast in the 1920s.
He gained a scholarship to study law at Trinity College in Dublin, but his parents were unable to afford the fees for him to attend.
