The post of organist of York Minster passed successively from father to son through four generations of the Camidge family; John the Younger, for many years assistant to his father Matthew (1764-1844), held the office 1842-48. He suffered a paralytic stroke while playing the organ in 1848 and never played again.
Like his father and his grandfather (John the elder, 1734-1803), he is best known as a composer of chants.
