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 (opened 1879).[1][2] The theatre was very badly damaged by fire in 1926, 47 years after its opening.[1]
In 1852, Flower married Sarah Martineau, granddaughter of Peter Finch Martineau and niece of Sir Francis Ronalds.[3][4] The couple had no children.
