Possibly not as well known (in chess circles) as he deserves to be...

Well known in the worlds of Braille chess and and jurisprudence. :D

Nice piece.
See also http://www.chessmail.com/research/Tylor.html and there was an item in New In Chess magazine about Tylor a few issues ago.

Professor Michael Furmston, if he is still around, can probably tell you more about Tylor.

Sadly I see from the obituaries section of this Forum that Michael Furmston has now died; it was he who gave me the tip about the novel containing that pen portrait of Tylor.

I am going to add Michael's best game to the Obituary thread.
