Charles Edward Flower
Charles Edward Flower was an English brewer.
He was the eldest son of Edward Fordham Flower and brother of William [Henry Flower].
It was through his efforts that the Shakespeare [Memorial Theatre] was commissioned in 1874/5. The theatre was very badly damaged by fire in 1926, 47 years after its opening.
In 1852, Flower married Sarah Martineau, granddaughter of Peter [Finch Martineau] and niece of Sir Francis Ronalds. The couple had no children.
