Sir Charles Flower, 1st Baronet (1763–1834) was a merchant who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1808.[1] Flower traded in salt meat, butter and cheese, and was described as having acquired "an ample fortune" by the time of his ascendency to the mayoralty.[2][3] He was created a baronet, of the Flower baronets, of Lobb in the County of Oxford and of Woodford in the County of Essex, on 1 December 1809.[4][5]
Flower was appointed an alderman in the City of London's Cornhill ward in 1801.[1] He had previously been elected one of the Sheriffs of the City of London in 1799.[6]
Flower was a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters.[7] Flower's daughter, Anne Mary, became a noted horticulturist in Canada.[8]
