Clemency Margaret Greatrex Burton-Hill is an English broadcaster, author, novelist, journalist and violinist. In her early career she also worked as an actress. In January 2020 she suffered a brain haemorrhage caused by a cerebral arteriovenous malformation and underwent emergency surgery in New York City. She continues to work on her recovery.
Burton-Hill was born in Hammersmith, London, in 1981, the daughter of Humphrey Burton, the BBC's first head of music and arts, and Gillian Hawser, an agent, who had previously married Robert Hill. The couple did not marry and Burton-Hill grew up, near central London, with her mother, alongside two older half-brothers. She got to know her father only in her twenties, although they became close.
She held scholarships at St Paul's Girls' School and Westminster School before studying English at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where she took a Double First. Burton-Hill is also a former scholar at the Royal College of Music, where she was the recipient of the Hugh Bean Violin Prize.
