Etymology
Lilley Brook, Lilley Grove, Lillebrok 1306Ass , 1307FF (p). The first el. may be the OE pers.n. Lilia , as in Lilly Brook (D 8). But there was a place in Charlton called le Litle hay , Lylley 1605Comm , 1606AOMB , Lilleye feld , Lully breach 1606 ib, which suggests it is 'little enclosure', v. lȳtel , (ge)hæg, and brōc ; for a similar reduction cf. Lisleway (257infra ) and Milton End (175infra ); Lilley Brook is an affluent of the Chelt.
