[The Revd James Haldane Stewart was rector of Brightwell, 1866-1879. He married Emily Katharine Mary Leveson-Gower (1835-1912) in 1866, and died in 1879. The original volume of parochial memoranda was passed to Mr Stewart's successor as rector of Brightwell, who added to it (see D/P 25/28/6). This copy may have been made by or for his widow in 1879.

 

She gave it to her second daughter Pamela (b. 1869) in June 1886 in memory of her youngest daughter, Katherine M G Stewart (1877-1886).]
