Taylor featured occasionally during the following season, achieving both of his career half-centuries, including a career-high 86 against Somerset. Taylor's final County Championship appearance came towards the end of July 1961, in a match in which he finished the second innings with a duck. Essex finished seventh in the table, a slight decline on the previous year's performance, but Taylor was out of the team from then on.
Taylor made one further first-class appearance, just a day after his thirtieth birthday, playing for Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University, a full six years after his final County Championship appearance.
