Alfred Taylor (1802 – January 16, 1823) was a promising young scholar and an early member of the elite intellectual society, the Cambridge Apostles.
Born in Hull in 1802, he was the third son of Francis Edward Taylor. He received his early education at Louth Grammar School in Lincolnshire before being admitted as a pensioner to Trinity College, Cambridge, on February 4, 1820, at the age of 18. He subsequently matriculated in Michaelmas 1820.
Following his time at Cambridge, Taylor pursued a legal career, entering Lincoln’s Inn as a student on July 29, 1822. However, his legal and academic pursuits were cut tragically short. He died in London on January 16, 1823, at the young age of 21, and was subsequently recorded in historical, topographical, and biographical accounts (including the Gentleman’s Magazine) as "Alfred Taylor, of Lincoln's Inn and Trinity College, Cambridge."
