Sir Charles Mander (Baronet), 1932 - 1933 and 1936 - 1937
Mander was the eldest son of Charles Tertius Mander, a former Mayor of Wolverhampton. Born in 1891, he was educated at Eton and Trinity College, London, before going onto Cambridge University. After Cambridge he went into the family's paint and varnish manufacturing business, Mander Brothers, founded by his great-grandfather Benjamin Mander in the 1780's. He spent time at their Berlin branch, dealing with finances, and eventually became a managing director and partner in 1909. Mander was a Conservative member of Wolverhampton Council for twenty-five years, becoming mayor in 1932 and again in 1936. During his term of office he founded the Good Companions Club at Horseley Fields. He had an interest in many social service organisations. He was made an alderman in 1938, and later held the position of High Sheriff and Magistrate. During the First World War he served with the Staffordshire Yeomanry and saw active service in Palestine, which resulted in a leg injury. Mander left the military with the rank of major in 1925. A keen sportsman, he became President of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. He was also a governor and trustee of the Royal Wolverhampton School. Mander loved travelling and during a visit to the United States in 1928 he represented the British Rotary and Wolverhampton Rotary Club. He accepted an invitation to become a member of the Indian tribe of Blackfoot and was given the name Red Crow, which is Mekasto in Blackfoot native tongue. Mander served as a warden at Tong church and was an active fundraiser for the Bishopric of Lichfield, raising £150,000. He died in 1951, aged sixty, at his home Kilsall Hall, Shifnal.
