70 Wilts Obituary. 
in 1832 the house remained for a while empty, until the late Mr. Watson 
Taylor returned to live there in 1844; from that time until his death it 
continued to be his home. He sat as M.P. for Devizes in 1857, but lost 
his seat in 1859. He married, 1843, Lady Charlotte Hay, d. of the 
Marquis of Tweedale, who died in 1887, and leaves four sons—George, 
who succeeds to the Erlestoke property, born 1850; Arthur; John; and 
William; and three daughters—the Hon. Mrs. Tatton Egerton; Mrs. 
Verner; and Miss Victoria Watson Taylor. The present Church and 
Vicarage of Erlestoke were built by him. One of the kindest and most 
courteous of men, he retained his faculties in an unusual degree up to 
the time of his death, his illness only lasting about a week. Of late 
years, owing to his very advanced age, he had been but little known 
outside the immediate neighbourhood of Erlestoke, but to those who 
knew him he was the object of most sincere regard.
