Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Lancashire
He left home in the Summer of 1874 to visit some of the Suffolk churches: On his return to London, whilst walking along Bishopsgate Street, he was suddenly seized With an affection of the heart, and fell. He was carried into the house of a medical man, and revived for a few moments and spoke, and then quietly passed away, in his sixty-seventh year.
He was thus engaged in what was to him the study and pleasure of his life up to the very last.
Whilst however he was keen and enthusiastic in following this pursuit, he was an active magistrate, and punctually discharged his public duties, especially those of Chairman of the Board Of Guardians and of Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire, in which his estate, Hawarden Castle, was Situated. He was a humble-minded man, Of simple tastes, full Of kindness and thought for others. An Old parishioner said Of him Sir Stephen is as innocent as a lamb.
The Editor of this volume had the privilege of meeting him several times, many years ago, at Middleton Rectory, Where he often stayed with Archdeacon durnford (now Bishop of Chichester). The impression he gave the writer of this preface was that of a typical English gentleman, very unassuming, highly cultured, and a most pleasant companion.
Sir Stephen's altar tomb is in the chancel of Hawarden church. His only brother pre-deceased him; his eldestsister, the wife of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, m.p., survives him, and inherits for life Hawarden Castle, which afterwards devolves on the Widow Of her eldest son, the property having passed to her grandson, a minor.
