Alfred Lilley

The Ven. Alfred Leslie Lilley (14 August 1860 - 31 January 1948) was an Anglican priest[1] and author.[2]

Lilley was born in Clare, County Armagh,[3] and educated at the Royal School, Armagh, and Trinity College, Dublin. 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]

Character

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.)
