Lewis was presented to the sixth prebend of Westminster by Elizabeth I in 1577[1] and became one of her chaplains in ordinary around 1584.[2] He was the rector of Kingsland, Herefordshire.[3]
In 1594 Lewis was installed as Dean of Gloucester.[4] In 1596 he unsuccessfully appealed to Robert Cecil to be appointed bishop of Chester.[2] During his tenure he snubbed the authority of successive bishops by failing to appear at their visitations of the cathedral clergy.[5][6] He wrote his will in February 1607, requesting that he be buried in one of the cathedrals of Gloucester Worcester or Hereford. He was interred at Hereford Cathedral on 6 June 1607.[3]
