Born in Norfolk, Taylor was educated in Watton before becoming a farmer based in Thetford. He was also active in the Congregationalist Church, serving as a lay preacher, and became a magistrate.

Following his defeat, Taylor joined the Labour Party and was elected to Norfolk County Council. He stood for the party in South West Norfolk, missing out on election in 1922, 1923 and 1924 general election, before finally winning the seat at the 1929 general election. He lost the seat at the 1931 general election, but that year was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
