History

The Reverend Canon Edwin Hill was born in 1843 at the Collegiate School in Leicester, where his father, the Reverend Abraham Hill, was Headmaster. He matriculated at St John’s in 1862 and graduated BA 5th Wrangler in 1866. He was elected to the Fellowship of St John’s in 1867 serving until 1890. During this time he was a Steward 1874-5 and Tutor 1875-1889, before moving to Cockfield, Suffolk to take up the post of Rector. He held that position for 40 years, including a period 1901-19 as Rural Dean of Lavenham. He was made Honorary Canon of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914 until his death in 1933.

Hill died in June 1933 at home in Bury St Edmunds. He had never married and left a substantial proportion of his estate St John’s College.
