Born: December 4, 1779, Cannock, Staffordshire, England.
Died: December 29, 1823, Sheffield, England (John Julian says the Gentlemen’s Magazine incorrectly published Cotterill’s death date as January 5, 1824).
After attending the local boarding school of Rev. J. Lomax, Cotterill went the Free School in Birmingham. He graduated at St. John’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’s Sheffield, 1817-1823.
Cotterill published his Family Prayers in six editions. Though he did write some original hymns, he is better known as the compiler of Selection of Psalms and Hymns, adapted to the Festivals of the Church of England, which had a marked effect on modern hymnals. The first edition of Selection was in 1810, and the ninth in 1820. Cotterill himself contributed 25 original hymns and versions of individual psalms to Selection.
