He was a director of the successful Loughborough firm, Taylor's Bell Foundry (q.v.), which cast Great Paul for St Paul's in London in the 1880s and exported bells all over the world.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE.
This garage of 1914, in the Arts and Crafts style, is of very high quality and has fine moulded brickwork and tilework decoration and is comparatively rare for the date. It is in the style of a garden pavilion with a domed roof and has a grandeur suitable to its first occupant, the owner's Rolls-Royce.
