The Chater Residence

Date1976Reference NumberArt 26-010DescriptionNoel Chater (1884-1960) was an English-born merchant seaman who settled in New Zealand after marrying Mabel Mayfield in Australia. In partnership with his father-in-law, Major Edwin Mayfield, he helped establish a large orchard enterprise in the Tauranga district, recognising the region's potential for fruit growing. The partners developed extensive plantings of peaches, apples, and pears and later established a canning factory that supplied Golden Queen peaches throughout New Zealand. Their venture was initially successful but declined during the 1920s as disease and government-mandated orchard removals severely affected production. Chater remained associated with the district until his death in 1960.FormatDrawingPhysical DescriptionPen and ink drawings on tracing paper size is mm x mmCreatorHyde, Robert DavidHyde, Anne (nee Bowling) 1941-2023SourcesAnne Bowling Collection WBOP
