Hilda Leyel (''née'' Wauton) (6 December 1880 - 15 April 1957), who wrote under the name Mrs. C. F. Leyel, was an expert on herbalism and founded the ''Society of Herbalists'' (later the ''Herb Society'')〔(The Herb Society's official website )〕 in England in 1927, as well as a chain of herbalist stores called the "Culpeper Shops".
Leyel is author of a book on herbalism, called ''Elixirs of Life'',〔Mrs. C.F.Leyel - Elixirs of Life - Kegan Paul (2002) ISBN 0-7103-0742-X〕 among other works on the subject, as well as the cookery book ''The Gentle Art of Cookery''.〔Leyel, H. and Hartley, O.

==Background and early career==
Leyel was born in London and educated at Uppingham School, where her father Edward Wauton was a teacher. While still young, she developed a precocious interest in herbs and flowers and after leaving school studied medicine. She worked briefly with Frank Benson, who was an actor-manager, and in 1900 married Carl Frederick Leyel (d.1925), a theatrical manager with whom she had two sons. They later divorced. As a young woman in Lincoln's Inn, she developed an interest in food and wine and made influential friends, who rallied to her support in 1922 when she was prosecuted for running the Golden Ballot, a charity which raised money for ex-servicemen and various hospitals. Her acquittal helped to establish the legality of such ballots. She was elected a life governor of St Mary's, the West London, and the Royal National Orthopaedic hospitals.
