Caroline Lucreza Brook Hill (June 1845 – 1926) was an English actress. She began acting as a child in the company of Samuel Phelps and soon joined the company of J. B. Buckstone at the Haymarket Theatre. There she created roles in several new plays, including some by W. S. Gilbert, in whose plays she continued to act later in her career. She played at various London and provincial theatres in the 1870s. Hill married actor Herbert Kelcey in 1883, with whom she had begun to appear on stage. The couple played mostly in New York City in the 1880s, and, mostly in England, Hill continued to act through the 1890s. Early life and career Hill was born in York, the youngest child of the comic actor John Brownlow Hill and his wife, also an actress, Caroline Bessie Knights. She began to act as a child, in about 1861, in roles such as Mamilius in A Winter's Tale and Arthur in The Life and Death of King John, in the company of Samuel Phelps at Sadler's Wells Theatre. A young relative was the actress Agnes Knights, with whom she appeared in New Babylon at the Duke's Theatre. In a review of a production of Mrs White in July 1862 at the Haymarket Theatre, Hill is described as "from the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh". Hill was in the cast of Joseph Stirling Coyne's farce Duck Hunting in March 1863. With the company of J. B. Buckstone at the Haymarket, she created original roles, earning critical praise. These included roles in The Favourite of Fortune (1866), Mary Warner (1869), New Men and Old Acres (1869; with Madge Kendal), The Palace of Truth (1870; as Mirza) and Pygmalion and Galatea (1871; as Cynisca), the last two by W. S. Gilbert. She also appeared in a revival of All for Her by John Palgrave Simpson and Herman Charles Merivale. During this time, she was married to (in 1867) and divorced from (in 1869) Henry Reginald Featherstonhaugh of Paddington, then part of Middlesex. The couple had one surviving child, a son, Albany Featherstonhaugh (1867–1954). Advertisements appeared in December 1871 and January 1872 offering lessons by her for pupils wishing to prepare for the stage at her address in Notting Hill. In 1874 Hill performed for charity with the Canterbury Old Stagers, an amateur group, at Colchester Theatre, Tom Taylor's comedy Nine Points of the Law. The
