I owe much of the above and the following totally to Mike Yates who has produced a super article about Geoffry at the site of “The Magazine for Traditional Music throughout the world”: <http://www.mustrad.org.uk/articles/rg_hill.htm>;.

While at Harnham he was founder of Harnham Cricket Club and founder president of Harnham Horticultural Society.

Geoffry wrote:
(a) Wiltshire Folk Songs and Carols.
(b) 1900: English Dioceses: a history of their limits from the earliest time to the present day (Elliot Stock, London).
(c) The Aspirate, or the use of the letter 'H' in English, Latin, Greek and Gaelic (T Fisher Unwin, London, 1902).
(d) Some Consequences of the Norman Conquest (Elliot Stock, London, 1904).
