Why Is Robert Taylor Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sir Robert Taylor was an English architect and sculptor who worked in London and the south of England. Early life Born at Woodford, Essex, Taylor followed in his father's footsteps and started working as a stonemason and sculptor, spending time as a pupil of Sir Henry Cheere. Despite some important commissions, including a bust of London merchant Christopher Emmott today held in the church of St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire, and another of William Phipps , now in the parish church of Westbury, Wiltshire, he enjoyed little success and turned instead to architecture.
