he was educated at rugby school and jesus college , cambridge , graduating m.a. in 1793 .
from 1796 -- 1812 , he was tory member of parliament for shrewsbury and for marlborough from 1814 -- 18 .
he held command , as major , of the shrewsbury yeomanry cavalry from its inception in 1798 until 1804 , when the command was handed to charles dallas , and of the shropshire militia as lieutenant-colonel from 1801 to 1814 , although diplomatic duty abroad took him away from duty in this country .
hill went to france as attaché to the british chargé d'affaires in paris in november 1801 , and was on duty during the truce brought about by the peace of amiens .
when war with napoleon resumed he was briefly in captivity but escaped to england .
in 1805 , hill was appointed ambassador to ratisbon -lrb- though the napoleonic wars prevented him from taking up office -rrb- , to the kingdom of sardinia , whose court was exiled by the war in cagliari in 1807 and at turin in 1814 following napoleon 's defeat , and to the kingdom of the two sicilies at naples in 1824 .
that same year he and his younger brother assumed the additional surname of noel , from his grandfather , and was created a privy councillor .
in 1822 , he had rejected george canning 's offer of the post of parliamentary under-secretary of state for foreign affairs .
in 1832 , he inherited the barony of berwick from his childless older brother , thomas .
although he was briefly engaged to lady hester stanhope , he died unmarried and without legitimate issue at red rice , hampshire in 1842 , aged sixty-eight , and his title passed to his younger brother , richard .
