Alfred Leslie Lilley (14 August 1860 – 31 January 1948) was an Anglican priest[1] and author.
After a curacy in Glendermott he served at Holy Trinity, Sloane Street and St Mary on Paddington Green.
[4] He was a Canon Residentiary of Hereford Cathedral from 1911 to 1936; its Chancellor from 1922 to 1936; and Archdeacon of Ludlow from 1913 to 1928.
[5] E. H. Visiak describes Lilley in his 1968 memoir Life's Morning Hour as having "the aspect of a monk with a genial and sagacious mind", with "a capacity for suffering bores gladly".
[6] (Lilley provided the introduction for Visiak's 1911 poetry collection Flints and Flashes.)
