Hampden was a botanist from Ormesby, Norfolk who put together a herbarium of specimens from southern England and the environs of Great Yarmouth and the eastern Norfolk Broads. He recorded the first instance of a plant for Britain as a whole, together with two for Norfolk. He was a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists Society from its inception and contributed a number of biographical memoirs of botanists to the Society's Transactions. He was also a contributor to the Science Gossip Club, was Honorary Curator of Botany at the Norfolk and Norwich Museum and Botanist at Alexandra Palace, and was a member of the Norfolk Microscopical Society and the Queckett Microscopical Club. He bequeathed his herbarium, comprising around 500 specimens, to his friend and fellow botanist Herbert Geldart, and the resulting larger collection can be seen by appointment in the Shirehall Study Centre in England. http://www.rgreen.org.uk/index.html
