No other loyalty
Ian Shaw traces the life of Leslie Land (1903–1986), a remarkable but forgotten man
‘William Leslie Land, born 20 January 1903 at Wirksworth; son of Samuel Land, retired Draper and Outfitter. Educated at the Grammar School, Wirksworth. Admitted 1 March 1921.’
Alec Motyer
‘I am just a man who happens to have a gift for Bible languages.’ So remarked Alec Motyer to me in the lounge of his home in late July this year. He was distinguishing himself, with characteristic modesty, from the likes of J. I. Packer and John Stott.
A few weeks later, on 9 September, there was standing room only in the Poynton parish church in Cheshire for his funeral following his death on 26 August.
