Abstract
Transcripts of musical entries from Jackson's Oxford Journal, 1807-1817.
Biographical / Historical
Thomas William Taphouse was born at Sherfield Green on 11 February 1838 and was a music and instrument dealer and collector. Working in his family's music shop, Taphouse held various local appointments as organist, and made the shop into a lively musical centre, having added a piano warehouse and several music rooms to the premises – one of which was for many years the home of the Oxford University Musical Club.
Taphouse entered local government at the age of 50, and in 1888 he was first elected for the Central Ward. In 1904 Taphouse was unanimously elected Mayor of Oxford (for 1904/1905), but only managed to preside over one Council meeting before he fell ill. He died at Bournemouth on 8 January 1905 at the age of 66.
