Ordination
Stewart matriculated in 1803 at Exeter College, Oxford and graduated B.A. in 1806 and M.A. in 1810. He was ordained and appointed Curate of Ashampstead in Berkshire. From 1812 to 1828 he officiated at Percy Chapel in London despite suffering a breakdown in health in 1817 which necessitated a visit to the Continent.
He was the first minister of St Bride's Church, Liverpool, (1831) naming the street, Percy Street, after the Percy chapel, also in Percy street, London.
