(Lit Reg.) in 1840. At Gonville and Caius College he was made Fellow from 1792 to 1820, Dean in 1797, Steward in 1799, Bursar from 1805 to 1807, and College Master from 1839 to 1852. In 1794 he was Usher and Second Master at the Perse School. As an Anglican, Chapman was ordained a deacon (at Ely) on 15 June 1794 and a priest on 22 May 1796. From 1818 to 1852 he was Rector of Ashdon, Essex. He gave £1000 to the College Building Fund and in his will made a bequest to the Norrisian Professorship of Divinity.
