abstract	Stewart Duckworth Headlam (12 January 1847– 18 November 1924) was a Church of England clergyman, Christian socialist and local politician. Born in Liverpool, the son of an insurance underwriter, he was educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating BA in 1869. He was ordained as a deacon in 1870 and as a priest in 1872. He held a series of curacies in London: St John-the-Evangelist, Drury Lane, 1870–73, St Matthew's, Bethnal Green, 1873–79, St Thomas's, Charterhouse, 1879–81 and St Michael and All Angels, Shoreditch, 1881-84. His work in inner city districts made him increasingly politicised, leading to a rift with the Bishop of London. In 1883 he publicly called for the abolition of the House of Lords, and his licence to preach was withdrawn. He was a member of the executive committee of the Fabian Society and editor of the Church Reformer from 1873-84. He became interested in educational reform and in 1888 was elected to the London School Board as one of the representatives of Hackney. He was re-elected four times, remaining a member of the board until its abolition in 1904. He was chairman of board's Evening Continuation Schools Committee from 1897. In 1907 he was elected as Progressive Party member of the London County Council, representing Bethnal Green South West. He was re-elected four times, remaining a member of the council until his death. He died of a heart attack in 1924 aged 77 at his home in St Margaret's-on-Thames, Middlesex.
