Sir Charles Nicholas Mander, 4th Baronet[1] (born 23 March 1950) is a British baronet, historian and businessman.[2]

Biography

He is the elder son of Charles Marcus Mander, 3rd baronet of The Mount, by Maria Dolores (d. 2007), née Brödermann, of Hamburg, whom he succeeded in 2006.[3] He was educated at Downside School, Trinity College, Cambridge (senior scholar), and Grenoble University.[4] He is a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, a liveryman of the Fishmongers' Company and a Companion of the Guild of St George.[5]

He has owned the Tudor manor house at Owlpen Manor in Gloucestershire with its associated estate since 1974, where he has opened the house to the public.[6] He was co-founder of Mander Portman Woodward in 1973, a group of independent sixth-form colleges based in London, and of Sutton Publishing in Gloucester.[7] He has acted as a company director of a number of companies in the UK and Spain, and served as founder chairman of The Gloucestershire County History Trust (2010) and the Gloucestershire Care Partnership (2006),[8] and as a trustee of the Orders of St John Care Trust and the Woodchester Mansion Trust[9] among many charitable and voluntary organisations.

He is the author of Varnished Leaves, a history of the Mander family (2004), Country Houses of the Cotswolds (Aurum Press, 2008; Rizzoli, 2009, reprinted 2016), and of a personal memoir, Owls among Ruins (2022). He has contributed articles and reviews, principally on art and architectural history, to academic journals, newspapers and magazines.[10]

Mander briefly appeared in the 2017 film Phantom Thread as Lord Baltimore.[11] The Trouble with Home, a documentary film about the life of the family at Owlpen Manor, was made for HTV West and screened in July 2002.
