Where was Hayley Williams born?

Answer 1

William Hayley (November 9, 1745 - November 12, 1820), was an English writer, best known as the friend and biographer of William Cowper.

Born at Chichester, he was sent to Eton in 1757, and to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1763; his connection with the Middle Temple, London, where he was admitted in 1766, was merely nominal. In 1767 he left Cambridge and went to live in London. Two years later he married Eliza, daughter of Thomas Ball, dean of Chichester. His private means enabled Hayley to live on his patrimonial estate at Eartham, Sussex, and he retired there in 1774.
