The family lived in London during Taylor's childhood.

Their social circle included artists such as Augustus John and Laura Knight and politicians such as Colonel Victor Cazalet.

Cazalet was Taylor's unofficial godfather and an important influence in her early life.

She was enrolled in Byron House School, a Montessori school in Highgate, and was raised according to the teachings of Christian Science, the religion of her mother and Cazalet.

1932

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011) was a British and American actress.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on 27 February 1932, at Heathwood, her family's home at 8 Wildwood Road in Hampstead Garden Suburb, northwest London, England.
