Frank Harrison Hill (1830-1910) was a BGS alumnus, and the nephew of local historian Pishey Thompson. He later became the editor of the London-based 'Daily News' from 1869 to 1886. Charles Dickens had been the newspaper's first editor, in 1845.
Through his will, Hill bequeathed £1,000 to the BGS trustees to be used to found a Frank Harrison Hill Exhibition for one or more subjects.
This prize was originally a leaving scholarship, awarded every three years. In recent decades it has been awarded annually to the winner of the Parry Gold Medal.
