From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel Edward Cook (d. January, 1856) was an English writer.
In 1840, he took the name of Widdrington, his mother being the heiress of some of the estates of this family. Having served in the British navy he lived for some years in Spain, writing Sketches in Spain during the years 1829-1832 (London, 1834): and Spain and the Spaniards in 1843 (London, 1844). He died at his residence, Newton Hall, Northumberland, in January 1856 and was succeeded in the ownership of his estates by his nephew, Shalcross Fitzherbert Jacson, who took the name Widdrington. See Rev. John Hodgson, History of Northumberland (1820-1840).
