Sir Mark Steward. Cousin of Robert Steward, the last Prior and first Dean of Ely and ancestor of Oliver Cromwell. Died 1603. On the monument is a Latin inscription which tells a fictitious story intending to show that the Stewards were really of Scottish ancestry and members of the Royal House of Stewart. The falseness of this pedigree has been clearly proven. The family name was really Styward (meaning "keep of the pig sties") and they came from Swaffham in Norfolk. Ely Cathedral 50
