Steward & Patteson

Stewart & Patteson was a brewery that was founded in Norwich, Norfolk.

John's mother was Martha Fromanteel, the daughter of the Mayor of Norwich and an attorney.

In 1794, John purchased the Great Yarmouth Brewery from William & James Fisher, which included 17 public houses.

By 1819 John's ventures in the English and foreign markets began to fail and he was forced to sell his estate, by this stage he was a director of the Norwich Union Life Society along with his son John Staniforth Patteson.

The company survived well into the 20th century and by 1961, was described as being one of the largest non-metropolitan breweries in the country.
