George Ledwell Taylor (1788-1873) was an architect and landowner who lived in London. He was educated at Rawes’s academy, Bromley, and became a pupil of the architect James Burton, and on Burton’s retirement, of Joseph Parkinson, who was then engaged in laying out the Portman estate. While articled to Parkinson, Taylor superintended the building of Montagu and Bryanston Squares (1811), and the neighboring streets. In 1816, he went on two walking tours of England with his fellow-pupil Edward Cresy. In 1817, he and Cresy set off on a grand tour, visiting France, Switzerland, and Italy, before spending a summer in Greece. At Pisa, they made a detailed survey of the Campo Santo and the Leaning Tower; later publishing the drawings in a volume called Architecture of the Middle Ages in Italy (1829).
