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 (he lived near Bournemouth in later life) and Guy's Hospital for specific
projects.
