He was a grocer. The question is wrong. He didn't make a 'collection of carols'. He kept a commonplace book in which he recorded anything that interested him. The Richard Hill who wrote a collection of carols,poems etc from medieval sources, published in 1908, is a different Richard Hill. William Walton did, however, use the C16 Richard Hill's words , ending an entry in the commonplace book ," be merry and glad this good New Year" as the refrain in a carol he composed called "What cheer!" in 1961.

This quiz you are doing seems to be the kind of quiz which schools set at Christmas, a quiz which the parents end up doing. Is it a school quiz?
