Photography

Nevill and her younger sisters Henrietta (1830–1912) and Isabel (1831–1915) were together known as "The Trio" when they exhibited at the London Photographic Society in 1854. Nevill was introduced to photography by W.J. Thomas, editor of the journal Notes and Queries.

From 1859, she also contributed to the Amateur Photographic Association. She has her potrait made by Camille Silvy, which is now at National Portrait Gallery.
