John Arthur Fyler, B.A. (Berkshire, 1855 – West Sussex, 17 March 1929)[1] was an English politician, Conservative Member of Parliament from 1903 and 1904 for the English constituency of Chertsey.
Biography
He was the son of the Rev. Frederick Fyler of Ewelme and his wife Charlotte Fane, daughter of John Fane (1775–1850). He was educated at Marlborough College and matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford in 1874, graduating B.A. in 1878.[2][3][4]
Fyler was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1875, and called to the Bar there in 1879.[5][6] Initially he went the Western circuit.[7] After a time he ceased to practise.[8]
For some years Fyler acted as honorary secretary of the Christchurch, Hampshire Conservative Association. He succeeded to the Woodlands estate, Windlesham, in 1897, after the death of his uncle, the Rev. James Fyler.[8] He accepted the office of Conservative agent in the Chertsey constituency in 1898.[9]
In March 1903 at a by-election caused by the death of Henry Leigh-Bennett, Fyler, who was regarded as "a keen sportsman and a Freemason," was elected as Unionist M.P. for Chertsey. The defeated Liberal candidate was Hubert Harry Longman.[8][9]
Fyler was made bankrupt in May 1904, with liabilities £22,279, and stepped down as M.P. The deficiency was partly explained by Stock Exchange losses, £14,000; betting losses, £1,000; interest borrowed money, £3.404; and expenses for his Parliamentary election, £1,043.[10]
Family
Fyler married in 1888 Caroline Norah Hambrough, daughter of Albert John Hambrough (died 1861), of Steephill Castle, Isle of Wight.[11][12]
