How many examples do you have? This one sounds like the name of a place. Thus, as a proper noun, it is captalized.

No, Hill is a name of the person, actually a surname. This is the only example, and it's not in the beginning of the sentence. Could it simply be an aristocratic title?

Interesting. An even larger context might give additional clues. But I would say from this, that 'noble' is used as an adjective, as in 'the noble Mr. Hill'.
