William Hill & Son was a prominent English organ-building company during the 19th century.
William Hill was born in Spilsby, Lincolnshire, in 1789. He married Mary, the daughter of organ-builder Thomas Elliot, in 1818. Hill worked for Elliot from 1825, and the company was known as Elliott and Hill until Elliot's death in 1832. Hill inherited the firm and continued its operations. He passed away in 1870, and a memorial window was installed in his honor at the church in Spilsby.
After inheriting the firm in 1832, William Hill partnered with Frederick Davison briefly in 1837. Hill's elder son, William, joined the firm in 1832, and his younger son, Thomas, joined in 1855, eventually taking control after Hill's death. Thomas Hill led the company until his death in 1893, after which his son, Arthur George Hill, took over until 1916. The company then merged with Norman & Beard to form William Hill & Son & Norman & Beard Ltd., later known as Hill, Norman & Beard.
