Social reformer
Octavia Hill
Reformed housing for the London poor, argued that open space was a necessity rather than a luxury, and co-founded the National Trust.
Octavia Hill was an English social reformer and founder of the National Trust. Her main concern was the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, especially London, in the second half of the nineteenth century. Born into a family of radical thinkers and reformers with a strong commitment to alleviating poverty, she herself grew up in straitened circumstances owing to the financial failure of her father's businesses. Home educated by her mother, she worked from the age of 14 for the welfare of working people.
