A Daniel Taylor, who was a Quaker, by deed dated 28th August, 1696, gave a house, called the Quakers' Almshouse, in trust for the use of such poor persons of the borough of Bridport to dwell in as should be appointed by the trustees and their successors. The same person by deed dated 31st December 1708, granted to trustees a house, called the Bull Inn, in East Street, the income of which was to support a Free school in Bridport, the number of scholars to be twelve of the poor inhabitants there, or so many as the annual produce should exceed or fall short of £12. He was buried in the Friends' Burial Ground, in South Street, which he appears to have given to the society. Upon a large stone, let into the wall over the gateway, is cut in Roman capitals the following inscription: "1696, Friends Burial Ground, Given by Daniel Taylor of Bridport. He died the 7th and was buried in this ground the 12th day of 9th Mo 1714, aged 73 years."
Estimate: £150 - £180
