English Island (also called Hilyard Island [1] ) is a tidal island off the north-west edge of Deer Island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay. [2] [3] [4]

The few homes on the island belong to the descendents of Dr. Henry Frye, a prominent local physician tied to Hospital Island and Frye Island. [1]

A small graveyard holds fewer than a dozen old graves of the English family. [1]
