He became the youngest Bishop in the Anglican Communion when he was consecrated seventeen years later at the age of 41. This album and those in the two following lots constitutes an increasingly scarce example of a Victorian autograph hunter's collection of considerable scope augmented by photographs. Bishop Hill's pursuit of the handwriting of royal and distinguished persons began long before his ten years residence of Bishopscourt on the Isle of Man. Other letters testify to the familial connections of his first and second wives, Caroline Maud Chapman (1839-1882 and especially Alicia (Alice) Probyn (1842-1930) whom he married in 1884. Alice Probyn's brother, General Sir Dighton Probyn, VC (1833-1924) was the distinguished soldier and famous courtier, Keeper to the Privy Purse, Secretary to the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and Comptroller of the Household. On his death Queen Alexandra paid a touching tribute, her handwritten card attached to the flowers on the General's coffin reading "For my beloved General Probyn with thanks for all he has been to me all these ... 52 years. We shall miss him so much; but he will draw us up to heaven where he is sure to go. God Bless from his devoted ALEXANDRA"
