The Rev. William Taylor becomes headmaster of Hawkshead School until his death at age 32 in 1786. William Wordsworth, who attends the school, later works Taylor into the character of Matthew in his Matthew poems (e.g., "The Two April Mornings"). In The Prelude, 10.486 ff., Wordsworth recounts visiting Taylor's grave at Cartmel Priory and reading his epitaph.
