<p><em>Born:</em> December 4, 1779, Cannock, Staffordshire, England.</p>
<p><em>Died:</em> December 29, 1823, Sheffield, England (<a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_j_u_julian_j.html" >John Julian</a> says the <em>Gentlemen&#8217;s Magazine</em> incorrectly published Cotterill&#8217;s death date as January 5, 1824).</p>

<p>After attending the local boarding school of Rev. J. Lomax, Cotterill went the Free School in Birmingham. He graduated at St. John&#8217;s College, Cambridge (B.A. 1801, M.A. 1805), of which he became a Fellow. Taking Holy Orders, he became Curate of Tutbury in June 1803. Subsequently, he held positions as Incumbent of Lane End, Staffordshire, 1808-17, and Perpetual Curate of St. Paul&#8217;s Sheffield, 1817-1823.</p>
<p>Cotterill published his <em>Family Prayers</em> in six editions. Though he did write some original hymns, he is better known as the compiler of <em>Selection of Psalms and Hymns, adapted to the Festivals of the Church of England</em>, which had a marked effect on modern hymnals. The first edition of <em>Selection</em> was in 1810, and the ninth in 1820. Cotterill himself contributed 25 original hymns and versions of individual psalms to <em>Selection</em>.</p>
