context_page_description: Sidney Hill, born Simon Sidney Hill, was a Methodist, merchant, philanthropist, gentleman farmer, and justice of the peace. From modest beginnings he made his fortune as a colonial and general merchant who pioneered trade from South Africa. He supported and endowed almshouses in Churchill and Lower Langford, and manses for Methodist clergy at Banwell and Cheddar. He built Methodist churches at Port Elizabeth, Sandford, Shipham and Blagdon besides the Wesley Methodist chapel and school at Churchill. Many of his charitable foundations still survive.
context_section_description: Arms were granted and confirmed in 1882. According to Fox-Davies in Armorial Families (1895), Hill bore:
  For Arms: Azure, a chevron nebuly argent, charged with three pallets gules, between two fleurs-de-lis in chief and a talbot's head erased in base of the second. Upon the escutcheon is placed a helmet befitting his degree, with a mantling azure and argent; and for his Crest, upon a wreath of the colours, a talbot's head couped argent, charged with a chevron nebuly, and holding in the mouth a fleur-de-lis azme; with the Motto, "Omne bonum Dei donum".
  Stone in The Routledge Dictionary of Latin Quotations (2005), translates the motto, Omne bonum Dei donum, as "Every good thing is a gift of God" and is taken from James, chapter 1, verse 17.
