The Steward Name
This is the part of my site where I take an in depth look at the Steward surname and also feature as many people with the same name as I can. The chances are that I am related to very few of them directly, but I just find it interesting to find out about these people.

The surname STEWARD is an Anglo-Saxon occupational surname of both Scottish and English origin. It derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century "stigweard", the Middle English (1200 - 1500) "stiward", being a compound of "stig", household, and "weard" guardian; the term was generally used to mean "an officer controlling the domestic affairs of a household", used especially of the Royal Household.
After the Norman Conquest of 1066 it was adopted as the native equivalent of the French "seneschal", for the steward or manager of an estate or manor. The Scottish office of Lord High Steward fell to the Crown on the accession of Robert the Steward as Robert 11, whence the name of the Royal House of Stuart.
The christening of Alice Steward was recorded at St. Mary's, Whitechapel, Stepney, in London, on October 10th 1568. One William Steward was an early emigrant to the New World colonies, leaving London on the "Expedition" in November 1635, bound for the Barbadoes.
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Stiwerd, which was dated 1130, in the "Pipe Rolls of Derbyshire", during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax.
Steward is a moderately common surname in the United States. The United States Census of 2000 listed about 21,558 individuals with the last name "Steward," ranking it number 1,533 for all surnames. Historically, the name has been most prevalent in the Southwest, though the name is most common in Alaska. Steward is least common in the western states.

Augustine Steward (1491-1571)
Augustine, the son of Geoffrey Steward, a Norwich Mercer and Alderman, was born in the parish of St George, Tombland, Norwich in 1491. Augustine became a highly successful Mercer and politician, being elected sheriff of Norwich in 1526 and mayor in 1534, 1546 and 1556. Augustine was also M.P for Norwich in 1542 and a Burgess in Parliament in 1547.
During Kett’s Rebellion in 1549, he was appointed deputy mayor when the mayor of Norwich, Thomas Codd, was imprisoned by Robert Kett. His house in Tombland opposite the Cathedral’s Erpingham Gate features prominently in the events surrounding the rebellion.
He was a leading citizen of his time, taking a prominent role in rebuilding the Guildhall and obtaining for the City, Blackfriars’ Convent, now St Andrew’s Hall, from the Crown. He donated to Norwich a silver gilt, rock crystal mace, which now forms part of the City’s regalia.

Sir William Arthur Steward (20th April 1901- May 1987)
Sir William Steward was born in 1901 and ironically was an owner of Hethersett Hall before it became a care home. I say ironically because I live in the village of Hethersett. Hethersett Hall was built by John Luke Iselin who was born in Basel. A stone on the floor in the nave of Hethersett Church bears the inscription – in memory of John Luke Iselin.
The Hall’s first occupier was Thomas Back, a Norwich solicitor. Sir William Steward owned Hethersett Hall some time after 1976. An undated newspaper cutting describes Hethersett Hall as an outstanding country house standing in one of the most beautiful parks in the area, overlooking open countryside and grazing land to its private lake. At the time of the cutting Hethersett Hall was being offered for sale through Temples Estate Agents for a price in the region of £200,000 It was further described as "a grand Georgian house, standing about six miles from the city (Norwich) off the London A11 road (now the B1172) in about 43 acres of land.
The Eastern Evening News of 3rd April, 1979 had an article entitled “King Curry sells his Norfolk home." There was a picture of Sir William Steward standing in front of the hall.
Sir William Steward was the son of Mr and Mrs W. A Steward. His father was head gardener in Norwich Cathedral Close. He was educated at the Norwich Model School and privately and during the Second World War served as a senior catering officer with the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Squadron Leader.
Sir William was an expert in the field of curry foods and became the owner of the famous Veeraswamys Indian Restaurant in London. Later he became owner of a company manufacturing canned curry products.
His story is a classic rags to riches tale. Born in Norwich, he rose from an office boy earning five shillings a week to become the owner of the internationally renowned restaurant. He became an expert on curries by travelling over 200,000 miles to research the subject and his expertise in the field led to him being nicknamed "King Curry."
Sir William sold the restaurant around 1967 and launched a company manufacturing canned curried products using the Veeraswamy name. After working as an office boy, Sir William sought his fortune in London at the age of 19. He was articled to a firm of chartered accountants, was secretary of three restaurant companies by the age of 22, and at 28 became a managing director and at 30 chairman of those companies. In 1935 he became chairman of Veeraswamays. He had taken over the restaurant in 1930 and was married to one of the top singers of the time - Greta Gaye of whom I haven't been able to find anything about. Throughout the 1930s trade was very difficult but the couple used great resourcefulness and came through the challenging times. In the 1940s and 1950s the restaurant became a great success. The first ever curry in a can was introduce under Veeraswarmy Food Products brand in the early 1950s. The restaurant was sold by Sir William in 1967. The food products business under the Veeraswarmy name continued in to be owned by the couple until his death.
He was subsequently made a freeman of the City of London and was a member of London County Council from 1949 to 1952 and a Master of the Worshipful Company of Distillers from 1953 to 1959. He was also a member of the Council of the Caterers' Association. He became a Member of Parliament when he won Woolwich West for the Conservative Party in 1950, holding the seat until he retired nine years later. He had previously stood for the parliamentary seat of Southwark Central in the 1945 election but had failed to gain election. He was elected chairman of the London Conservative Union in 1953.
While an MP, Sir William was chairman of the Kitchens’ Committee in the House of Commons and was the first Chairman for 100 years to make the department profitable. He was knighted in 1955 at the age of 54. He maintained close links with Norwich and was a keen supporter of Norwich City Football Club. When Norwich City were promoted to the Second Division in 1933, he gave a dinner at Romano’s, the restaurant he then owned, for the directors, manager and players.
Sir William was also a trustee of the Great Hospital in Norwich.
In the 1911 census William Steward was aged nine and described as a schoolboy. His address was given as 49 Cathedral Close and the remainder of his family consisted of father William Steward (37), mother Clara Steward (37) and brother George Steward (11).
