While it is plausible that the outer guard of a lodge takes the name of "Tyler" from the profession of tiling, do you have a reference to a primary source for this? This has long been unverified.

In addition I have never heard that the profession of tiling was chosen for the name because the outer guard kept watch from the roof. Is there a primary source for this statement?

I totally agree

As far as I know the point about the roof is entirely fanciful, and unless supported by authority I propose that it should be deleted.
