About Francis Lupton, III

Francis III Lupton (1813–1884) was 15 when his father died but he had already acquired an extensive knowledge of the cloth trade. He joined the board of the Bank of Leeds, became a West Riding magistrate and overseer of the parish of Roundhay. He was chairman of the finance committee of the Yorkshire College of Science, created in 1874 (later part of the federal Victoria University, and from 1904 the University of Leeds). In 1847 he married Frances Greenhow, niece of writers and reformers Harriet and James Martineau. Frances' entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography focuses on her pioneering work expanding opportunities for female education, not least in co-founding the Leeds Girls' High School. The married couple lived first at Potternewton, and later established the family home at Beechwood, a Georgian country house in Roundhay, which they bought from the politician Sir George Goodman. Francis ran a successful farm there until he died suddenly at the age of 70.
