Christopher William Hill

Christopher William Hill was born in Truro in Cornwall - a little jaundiced but that was to be expected in the grim days of the 1970s. His mother was a former nurse so Christopher grew up with a copy of Black's Medical Dictionary to hand which was ideal reading matter for an enthusiastic hypochondriac. He liked acting and putting on silly voices and collecting ancient relics which he gathered in a large walk-in wardrobe that called his 'museum'. Christopher loves walking ocean liners airships Victoriana and cake shops.
