From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Joseph Hood, 1st Baronet, (31 March 1863 – 10 January 1931) [1][2] was the mayor of Wimbledon and deputy chairman of British American Tobacco.[3]
The Hood Baronetcy, of Wimbledon in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 7 April 1922[4] for Joseph Hood, who represented Wimbledon in the House of Commons as a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) from 1918 until 1924.[3][5]
In 1921, Hood presented playing fields and woodland to the local council, these since named Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Fields, and Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Wood.[6] [7]
