Career
Clotworthy Taylor until 1796 and as Honorary Clotworthy Rowley from 1796 to 1800, was an Irish peer. He succeeded to the Rowley estates in 1796 and assumed the same year by Royal licence the surname of Rowley in lieu of Taylor.
Rowley represented Trim in the Irish House of Commons from 1791 to 1795.
Subsequently he sat for Meath until 1800, when the Langford title was revived and Taylor was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Langford, of Summerhill in the County of Meath.
