James Hook

The Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill is the song most people know without any idea of its composer. It was only one of many written by James Hook, who was organist and composer to the Pleasure Gardens at Marylebone and Vauxhall in London for many years. He was born in Norwich, probably on 3 June 1746, died in Boulogne in 1827 and was prolific, especially of song.
