Herbert Hill, Junior, (1810–1892): Second son of Herbert and Catherine Hill. Educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, where he became a Fellow in 1832 and Sub-Librarian of the Bodleian Library in 1837–1838. He taught at Rugby School 1836–1839. In 1838 he was ordained and moved to the Lake District, where he was Curate at Rydal and also took on individual pupils. He married his cousin, Southey’s daughter Bertha, in 1839 and later moved to the Midlands, where he was Headmaster of King’s School, Warwick, 1843–1876. In the bitter family dispute that marred Southey’s later years, Hill and his wife opposed Caroline Bowles. After Southey’s death, Herbert Hill edited Southey’s unfinished poem, ‘Oliver Newman’, for publication in 1845.
