With great sadness, we announce the passing of Stephen Lloyd Meakins,
who died at home in Castle Ashby
on 28th January 2025
with family by his side.
Born on 10th October 1940,
Stephen's life was filled with creativity, passion and a dedication to the arts. He had a long and fulfilling career as a teacher of both art and music and was widely respected in the world of performing arts, particularly for his leadership in choral music.
His influence inspired the careers and passions of many musicians and students who had the privilege of working with him.
Stephen spent the latter years of his life as a resident of Castle Ashby where he cherished the friendship and community there, as well as the birds that visited his window.
Stephen was a loving father and friend; his warmth, humour and wisdom will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A service to celebrate Stephen's life
will be held at the Church of
St Mary Magdalene, Castle Ashby on 18th February 2025 at 11.00am.
Family, friends, and those wishing to celebrate his life are invited to gather in his honour.

I was pleased to exchange messages with Stephen in 2023 - thanks to Instagram - after a gap of nearly 50 years. He was very welcoming upon my arrival in Northampton in 1971. I look back to the many laughs we had together and the hospitality which he provided. I am glad I was able to repay just a little when his family stopped for refreshments at my home in Brecon en route to family holidays in Pembrokeshire. R.I.P Stephen. You made a great contribution to the cultural life of Northampton. The town is the poorer without you!

So many lovely memories making wonderful music with Stephen, over a period of around 30 years he gave opportunity and inspired us with his passion. He will be missed by many. Love to all the family at this sad time.
