Octavia Hill

Octavia Hill (Wisbech, 1838 - 1912) was an English social reformer, particularly concerned with the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, specifically London, in the second half of the 19th century. She worked closely with her sister Miranda Hill (1836-1910), who founded the Kyrle Society. They were both daughters of Mr James Hill and granddaughters of Dr Thomas Southwood Smith, the pioneer of sanitary reform.
