John Taylor III (1780-1848), of Strensham Court, was the grandson of John Taylor I (1711-1775) of Bordesley Park, co. Warwick, who had made his fortune in Birmingham in the manufacture of buttons and snuffboxes. He established the Taylor and Lloyd bank in Birmingham with the Quaker Sampson Lloyd in 1765. It later became the international bank Lloyds, which still trades today. The entrée dishes were no doubt commissioned for John Taylor III’s year as High Sheriff of Worcestershire.
