Biographical 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.

Scope and content

A ledger from 1876 to 1880 which recorded how much students owed during the different academic terms. The students name is given at the top of a table which is followed by a full breakdown in terms of who the student owes money to and their total bill. The table is divided into two sections. The first part recorded the student’s bill to the college, which included their rent and tuition alongside the money they owed the cooks and laundress. The second section of the table recorded the student’s bill to tradesmen and businesses outside of the college, such as the bookseller and ironmonger. At the bottom of the table is the student’s total bill. The ledger recorded which students had money deducted from their bills due to scholarship or exhibitions. If the student owed money to the college previously, then this amount was also added to the new total bill in the ledger.
