Abraham Hill, a Govanite turned Wolverhampton merchant,
endowed the trust in 1757 with $200 to buy land the rent
from which paid a teacher to teach free 10 boys and girls
from the poorest families of Meikle Govan, the name Hill
being always preferred. By 1869 increasing land values made
possible a new and larger school, later acquired by Govan
School Board.
