Biography

Given Joesph Chapman was the manager for Kings College Estate, around 7,200 acres which encompasses most of group 1 Patrols and he's not allocated to a Patrol, that with his status we think he may have been an area commander for Group 1. Him being of poor health and passing away in 1953 gives reason to believe he's stood down from the role before the 1944 Hancock record. This is however an assumption and contact us if you know more.

Born in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, he married Kathleen May Evison. They are buried at St Clements Church, Worlaby. They had a son (Frederick) who died aged 27 of appendicitis in Uganda who is remembered on the memorial inscription at Worlaby churchyard.

He farmed at Wharfedale until he was engaged to manage Kings College Estate at Worlaby and Elsham. He was the farm manager there for 17 years before he retired due to ill health and moved to Westonfield Road, Barton upon Humber. His obituary describes him as an expert cattle breeder, a specialist in dairy shorthorns for which he won at the Royal Show in 1938 and a known cattle judge of national standing. He was Chairman of the North Lindsey branch of the National Farmers Union 1941-1942 and a J.P for Lindsey from 1940 and was Vice Chairman for Alcholme Drainage and Catchment Board.
