To date traced for definite from between 1828 and 1874, however, I have
information of a Thomas Young as victualler at the above premises, but
unfortunately date unknown and also that a Mrs. Eliza Sweetlove was
Charwoman for the premises in 1889, so the pub could well have still been
serving beer then. Further research has found mention in 1768.
I also have mention of the "Odd fellows Club and Hall" but don't know in
what context this is to the pub.

Kentish Gazette, 12 January 1847.
East Kent £50 Burial Society. "Prince of Orange," Canterbury.
At a meeting of the committee, holden at the above house on Thursday
evening last, it afforded much satisfaction, on a retrospect of
the affairs of the society for the past year, to learn the progressive
increase in the number of its members, and the flourishing state
of its funds. It has now been established upwards of six years, during
which period only eighteen deaths have occurred, being an
average of three annually, which fully proves that, on the admission of
candidates, a due regard to the state of health and other
circumstances has not been lost sight of. There are at present a few
vacancies for members under the age of 45 years; and with a
little exertion on the part of its present members individually, the
society must shortly be completed.

CANTERBURY PETTY SESSIONS. Wednesday.
John Goodwin Fedarb, a shoemaker, was charged with threatening to
destroy his wife.
Mrs. Fedarb said:- I do not think that he is in his right mind, or that
he has been so since Christmas. About two o’clock this morning he
threatened to break my bedroom door down and murder me. I gave him into
custody.
P.C. Holloway deposed:- Last night, about nine o’clock, I saw the
prisoner in his yard with a stick, and as he threatened to knock his
wife's brains out with it I took it away from him.
Mr. Cooper:- He was here about a fortnight ago?
The Superintendent:- He was brought to me by Saunders, the
removing-officer, who asked me to keep him till the morning, when he
would come and state his case, but on the following day he did not
attend, and the prisoner was discharged with a reprimand.
Defendant said that he was going to take the stick to the "Prince of
Orange" public house, when his wife shut the door and prevented him. She
was of a hasty temper and so was he.
The Bench bound him over to keep the pence for one month, himself and
one surety in £10 each.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION. WESTGATE WARD.
A meeting of the Liberul Burgesses of this ward was
held on Tuesday evening in the concert room at the “Prince of Orange
Inn,” Canterbury, under the presidency of Mr. Arthur Cannon. It was
unanimously resolved that Mr. Masters, who was deprived of his position
as an Alderman last November, should be elected as a Town Councillor at
the ensuing election, and that his election should be accomplished
without calling upon him to canvass the ward, but that he should be
requested to represent the Burgesses in the Town Council, where he had
so many years honourably held the offices of Town Councillor and
Alderman, to the evident satisfaction of a very large majority of the
constituency It was also resolved that Mr. W. J. Cooper should be the
colleague of Mr. Masters. Mr. W. j. Cooper expressed his gratification
at being the colleague of the ex-Alderman Masters and his determination
to exert himself in the canvass as well for his colleague as himself.
Mr. J. W. Pilcher, the Hon. Sec., of the Westgate Ward Liberal
Association, gave a concise statement of the position of the register
and concise statement of the position of the register and demonstrated
that with the cooperation of all sections of the Literal interest, the
election of these two gentlemen named was sure, and said that as he
believed the return of the two retiring Liberal Councillors for the Wan)
of Northgate was also a sure thing, it only wanted a little of the same
spirit to be exhibited in the Dane John Ward, and the return of a
Liberal Councillor there would restore the balance of power in the
Council. Thu health of the Chairman was afterwards drunk with thanks for
his excellent services that evening, and a request that he would
continue to act as Chairman of the Committee for securing the return of
Messrs.
Masters and Cooper. Mr. Cannon returned thanks, and said his best
services would most freely be accorded to assist in every way that he
could the object they had in view. Shortly after which the meeting broke
up.

The Apollonian Catch club is of a similar character to the last (the
Catch and Glee Club), and holds its meetings at the "Prince of Orange,"
every Friday evening during the winter season. The admission is one
shilling to non-subscribers: It is worthy of remark, that the
combination of amateur musical talent exhibited at both these societies
is rarely to be surpassed by any similar associations in the country.
(Date unknown.)
"Friendly Socities - The United Kentish Britons, held at the "Prince
of Orange," Orange street, was established 1807, for raising a fund to
afford relief to its members in case of sickness or infirmity. The
subscription of members is six shillings and sixpence per quarter, to be
paid two shillings monthly, and sixpence extra every third month. During
sickness a member receives fifteen shillings per week; £15. is allowed
for the burial of a member, and £5. for a member's wife."
"The St. Alphage Amicable Society - Was instituted in 1832, and meets
on the first Thursday in every month, for social and convivial
enjoyment, alternately at the "Prince of Orange," the "Sun Inn," the
