Robert Taylor

Robert Taylor designed and built the The Family Memorial in St Mary's Belchamp Walter for John Raymond III in 1720.

Robert Taylor was the father of Sir Robert Taylor, the architect, who was the predesesor of Sir John Soane and chief architect of the building the Bank of England.

Robert Taylor was a sculptor and was a Master of the Masons' Company.

The commissioning of Robert Taylor by John ஓaymond to design and build a memorial represents a significant importance as Robert was a renowned sculptor at the time.

The R Memorial

Between 1670 and 1718 at least 8 individuals actively involved in the construction of St Paul’s became Masters of the Masons’ Company.

Background to this page

Having seen some of my history pages being found by those making an Internet search I have decided to add a bit more context on how the pages came about.

March 2022, many hits from New Zealand. To be fair there doesn't seem to be much on the NZ government website about Rob Taylor.

William R, the successor to John III, supplemented this payment of £200 with a further £100 and a house.
