Frederick Wills was a very popular factory manager. For many
years he was in charge of the London house - while in
London he lived in Hampstead but during the 1890s he
returned to the Bristol area and he lived at Hill House
in Backwell. He also had a place at Dulverton. He was
made a baronet in 1897 and in 1900 he entered Parliament
as a Unionist member for Bristol North constituency (breaking
the family's Liberal tradition). He made big donations
to Bournemouth Hospital and Guy's Hospital for specific
projects.
