 "The next is called Canterbury Lane, from a family of that name, in which is a meeting house for the Quakers." A Walk in and about the City of Canterbury 1825 
 "Anthony Colley writes to Henry Muddiman from Canterbury, October 15th, 1665 as follows: In duty I am bound to say nothing was prosecuted at the last quarter sessions against the Quakers, nor the rest of that diabolical rabble, although several bills of indictment have been framed and presented at sessions against that viperous brood, yet by reason most of the grand jury are fanatics, the bills were not found, and that they have several places of meeting will manifestly appear, as at the house of Mr. Taylor, a blind man, formerly a minister, he liveth in St. George's Parish, Canterbury; at Francis Germain's a tanner in St. Paul's Parish, Catnerbury; at one Hill's, a tanner, in the parish of Holy Cross, West-gate, Canterbury; at one widow Clarenbold's at St. Stephen's, a mile distant; at Henry Roger's a desparate Quaker, in St. Mary Magadlen's, Canterbury; at one Thomas Pollard's a cordwainer, in the same parish, every Thursday; at one Vidion's at North Gate, Canterbury; at one Tritton's a miller in the parish of West-gate, Canterbury, fifth monarchy man; at one Garad's, a bricklayer, at Ickham, three miles from Canterbury; besides the many sturdy pieces of Presbytery, no less dangerous than the other; all which (are) most bitter enemies to the laws ecclesiastical and civil. God preserve his sacred Majesty. The honest souls especially church officers and others, are much afflicted to be reviled and affronted in the performance of their offices by the bold faction." 
 MM. Vol. 30 Death, October 1810 in Canterbury lane, Mrs. BUSHELL, 77.
