He held many public offices and was Mayor of Christchurch from 1923 to 1925.[1] Early lifeFlesher was born on 13 August 1865 in Christchurch. His parents were William Flesher (a land agent) and Dorothy Flesher (née Johnson). He attended Christ's College.[2] After school, he started a legal career, first at the Christchurch and Ashburton offices of Messrs Wilding and Lewis. Four years later, he joined the offices of Messrs Thomas Joynt and Acton Adams. When that firm was dissolved, he joined the offices of Messrs Acton-Adams and Kippenberger. In 1898, he was admitted as a solicitor. In 1899, he was admitted as a barrister and started his own legal practice at 9 Cathedral Square, Christchurch.[2][3] He married Margaret Lucy England on 18 January 1900 at the Weslyan Church in St Albans. At the time, his wife was 32 years old and working as a teacher. She was born in Adelaide to Robert Deakin and Ellen Taylor England (née Grant). Their relatives E.M. Deakin (Ashburton) and Harold Edmund Flesher were the witnesses to the marriage ceremony.[4] Political lifeFlesher's political career began in either 1891[5] or 1893,[2] when he was elected onto the Richmond Ward of Christchurch City Council. He was the mayor of the New Brighton Borough from 1915 to 1917. From 1918 to 1920, he represented Christchurch City Council as a councillor. During that time, he chaired the By-laws and Finance Committee. From 1923 to 1925, Flesher was the elected Mayor of Christchurch. He was once again elected councillor for Christchurch City Council in 1928 and held that post until his death.[2] He stood in the {{NZ election link|1928}} in the {{NZ electorate link|Kaiapoi}} electorate for the Reform Party and was narrowly beaten by Richard Hawke of the United Party.[6][7] Community involvementFlesher was involved in a great number of organisations, and held important roles with many of those:[2][3]
Avebury HouseIn 1871, James Flesher’s father William (born 1837) bought a {{convert|25|acre|m2}} site of the Avebury farm from Dr John Seager Gundry for £500. Flesher senior commissioned Avebury House from architect James Glanville. The 4,289 m2 dwelling was completed in 1885, replacing an earlier house from 1873. William Flesher died suddenly on the steamship SS Tarawera on a passage from Melbourne to Lyttelton, and James Flesher inherited Avebury house.[2][8] After James Flesher’s death, the house was in turn passed to his son Hubert de Rie Flesher, who sold the building and {{convert|8|acre|m2}} of land to the Crown in 1945, and it was on-sold to Christchurch City Council. The house became the Cora Wilding Youth Hostel in 1965 and the land became a public reserve (Avebury Park). After a threat of demolition in 1997, the house was renovated. It was opened in 2002 by Prime Minister Helen Clark and serves as the Avebury House Community Centre.[2][8][9] Avebury House and Avebury Park are located in Eveleyn Couzins Avenue in Richmond, Christchurch.[10] Flesher Avenue, off Eveleyn Couzins Avenue, is named after the Flesher family. Both roads occupy land that was previously part of the Avebury House property.[11][12] DeathFlesher died on 18 August 1930 at Avebury House following a long illness.[13] He was buried at the Anglican cemetery of Holy Trinity Avonside.[14] He was survived by his wife and his two children.[2] References{{commons category|James Arthur Flesher}}1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/howthecouncilworks/ourhistory/chairmenmayors.aspx |title=Chairmen and mayors |publisher=Christchurch City Council |accessdate=20 February 2010 |location=Christchurch |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100522063807/http://www.ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/howthecouncilworks/ourhistory/chairmenmayors.aspx |archivedate=22 May 2010 |df= }} {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef | before = Henry Thacker}}{{s-ttl | title = Mayor of Christchurch |years = 1923–1925}}{{s-aft | after = John Archer }}{{end}}{{Mayors of Christchurch}}{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2011}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Flesher, James}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite web |url= http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Society/People/F/Flesher-James/ |title=James Arthur Flesher |publisher=Christchurch City Libraries |accessdate=15 February 2010 |location=Christchurch}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web |url= http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc03Cycl-t1-body1-d3-d25-d6.html#name-420522-mention |title=The Cyclopedia of New Zealand (Canterbury Provincial District) Barristers and Solicitors |year=1903 |publisher=Cyclopedia Company Ltd |accessdate=18 February 2010 |location=Christchurch}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url= http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/Library.BMDs/FLESHER.BMD%27s.Christchurch.City.Library..html |title=Christchurch City Library – Church register index – surname – FLESHER|accessdate=15 February 2010}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc03Cycl-t1-body1-d3-d10.html|title=The Cyclopedia of New Zealand (Canterbury Provincial District) Ex-Councillors|year=1903|publisher=Cyclopedia Company Ltd|accessdate=20 February 2010|location=Christchurch}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=The Battle Eve |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AS19281113.2.161 |accessdate=21 November 2013 |newspaper=Auckland Star |date=13 November 1928 |volume=LIX |issue=269 |page=13}} 7. ^{{cite book |title=The General Election, 1928 |year=1929 |publisher=Government Printer |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&cl=search&d=AJHR1929-I.2.3.2.37 |page=3 |accessdate=4 December 2013}} 8. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://canterburyheritage.blogspot.com/2008/12/james-glanville-architect.html|title=James Glanville, Architect|publisher=Canterbury Heritage|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www1.ccc.govt.nz/council/agendas/2002/October/HagleyFerrymead30October/AveburyHouseUpdate.pdf|title=Avebury House Update|last=Ebborn|first=Lynnette |date=25 October 2002|publisher=Christchurch City Council|accessdate=20 February 2010|location=Christchurch}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www1.ccc.govt.nz/webapps/parksaz/p18.asp|title=Avebury Park|publisher=Christchurch City Council|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/PlaceNames/ChristchurchStreetNames-F-K.pdf|title=Christchurch Street Names F to K|last=Harper|first=Margaret|publisher=Christchurch City Libraries|pages=30|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/PlaceNames/ChristchurchStreetNames-C-E.pdf|title=Christchurch Street Names C to E|last=Harper|first=Margaret |publisher=Christchurch City Libraries|pages=265|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/1870-1908/1930.August.Christchurch.Press.BMD%27s.html|title=Christchurch Press – August 1930 – BMD -|last=Evans|first=Beverley|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 14. ^{{Cite web|url=http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/1870-1908/1930.August.Christchurch.Press.Snippets.html|title=Christchurch Press August 1930 – Snippets|last=Evans|first=Beverley|accessdate=20 February 2010}} 8 : 1865 births|1930 deaths|Mayors of Christchurch|Deputy Mayors of Christchurch|Burials at Holy Trinity Avonside|Christchurch City Councillors|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1928 New Zealand general election|Reform Party (New Zealand) politicians |
