DescriptionTomb of Sir Mark Steward - geograph.org.uk - 1771165.jpg |
English: Monument in Ely Cathedral of Sir w:Mark Steward (1524-1604), of Heckfield in Hampshire and of Stuntney in Cambridgeshire, a Member of Parliament for Stockbridge in Hampshire (1597) and for St Ives in Cornwall (1588–9). He was the 3rd son of Simeon Steward of Lakenheath in Suffolk by his wife Joan Besteney, daughter and heiress of Edward Besteney of Soham in Cambridgeshire. His uncles included Robert Steward (d. 1557), Dean of Ely, and w:Edmund Steward (died 1559), Dean of Winchester 1554–1559 and another who became Pastor of the English congregation at Frankfurt where he was an associate of w:John Knox. The Steward family had been settled in East Anglia from the fifteenth century. Their claimed descent from the Stewart family, Hereditary High Stewards of Scotland, as recounted in the inscription here, has in modern times been proved false. See 1771189 for more information. Transcript of Latin inscription, from: Thomas Fuller, The History of the Worthies of England, Volume 1, 1662, pp.259-60[1]:
Which may be translated:
For the official pedigree of the Steward family of the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire, which largely agrees with the inscription, see Clay, J. W., ed. (1897). The Visitation of Cambridge made in Anno 1575, continued and enlarged with the Visitation of the same county made by Henery St George, Richmond Herald, marshall and deputy to Willm. Camden, Clarenceulx, in Anno 1619, with many other descents added thereto. Harleian Society, 1st ser. 41. London, pp.7-11, pedigree of "Stuart" [2]. GenealogyThe descent of Sir Mark Steward is as follows, per Heraldic Visitation of Cambridge, 1575:
