Hill Stethoscope

Dr. Hill died on March 17, 1915 during the "Great War" (World War I), which is memorialized in one of the eight Basford St. Leodegarius church bells reading "In Memory Of William Henry Hill M.B.C.M. Who Died March 17TH 1915 During The Great War." Church parishioners also palced a large stone plaque on its south aisle wall which is shown below and reads: "To the Memory of William Henry Hill M.B. Church Fields, Basford. For upwards of 27 Years. A medical practitioner in this neighbourhood Born Sep.11 1862. Died March 17th 1915. This tablet has been erected by his Friends and Patients To record their sense of the loss sustained by his death and as a token of their appreciation of his upright character, his zeal and ability as a physician and surgeon and the unfailing kindness which he shewed to the Sick Poor committed to his care."
