Sir Malcolm Stewart was a successful brick and cement manufacturer. He used the fortune he accumulated during his lifetime to purchase a selection of portraits. He bought the old Infirmary building donating it to the Museum Society to use as a museum. In commemoration of Stewart’s death in 1951, the Museum Society received a grant from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust to finance the build of this gallery.

This portrait is a copy of the original by Oswald Birley. Birley was a portrait and figurative painter who painted portraits of royalty and wartime leaders such as General Eisenhower, Montgomery and Admiral Mountbatten. He also taught his friend Winston Churchill painting.
