Tylor is commemorated at Balliol by a plaque on the East Wall of the Antechapel, plus another plaque on the West Wall of the Library, which says: "The Tylor Library, named in memory of Sir Theodore Tylor, 1900 - 1968, who, as Scholar, Fellow, Tutor in Jurisprudence and Estates Bursar spent fifty years in dedicated service to the College." |

Here's a link to page about the player. It contains a photo with him facing forward, unlike the current <CG> photo. Slightly better, I think: https://britishchessnews.com/2020/1... |
