I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'man remembered on boxing day' is the definition.
'Stephen' can be an answer for 'man' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'remembered on boxing day' bit.

'walk with female' is the wordplay.
'walk' becomes 'step' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'female' becomes 'hen' (hen is a kind of female).
'step'+'hen'='STEPHEN'

'taking' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
