Sir John Hill was born in Peterborough in 1716. A trained Apothecary, he had shops in London. A noted Botanist, he travelled widely and had interests in many subjects. Eventually, he became Superintendent of the Royal Gardens in Kew. Often involved in controversy, despite his ability, he failed to achieve the recognition he maybe should have.
