The White Augustine Friars, or Friars Eremite, came into England in 1325, and established a priory at Canterbury, south of St. George's Street. At the time of the dissolution, this fraternity was broken up, and their lands sold to one John ANTHONY, in 1557. It appears that when they were suppressed, they were so poor that they petitioned the mayor and commonalty for relief. Little remains of their convent, which, from the extent of the wall still standing, occupies a large space of ground. Their house has been almost entirley altered, and is now occupied by the widow of the late General RAMSEY. There is a large gateway nearly opposite St. George's Church, which was one of the entrances to the convent; the principal entrance however was in Rose Lane; it is now blocked up; besides these, there were three other smaller gates, or doorways. The lane surrounding the north side has been let out in parcels to various individuals, and all appearances of a convent are entirely obliterated. 1838

George Frederick SMITH w, Coach Maker (b. Canterbury c. 1792)

1838 Henry and George SMITH, Coach Builders, St. George's street and Rose lane

*Mr. George Frederic Smith, a coachmaker in a large way of business, was employed in 1852, as he had been in many previous elections, in the distribution and payment of colour tickets on the side of the Conservatives. At this election, he expended 365l. 10s. for colour tickets, and 59l. 10s. for refreshment tickets, making altogether a sum of 425l. which was about half the sum expended in that way by the same person at the general eleciton in 1847, and one fourth of the sum expended for the same purpose at the single handed contest in 1841 between Mr. Smythe and Mr. Henniker Wilson. We have before said that the parties engaged in this practice were fully aware of its illegality. Of this a strong proof is afforded by the admission of Mr. Smith, that at all the elections in which he has been engaged he took care to burn or destroy, as soon as the election was over, all memoranda relating to the distribution of these tickets, the names of the nominees, and of the voters by whom they were recommended.

*Thomas Ovyngton's Gift: Thoms Ovyngton, by will, date 28th January 1557, gave one piece of pasture containing one acre more or less, lying within the city of Canterbury, besides the place commonly called the Dongeon, to the Mayor and Commonalty of the city of Canterbury, their successors and assigns for ever, for and to the provision, use and relief of the poor of the said city, and to the maintenance and sustentation of the stock of the Hospital of the Poor in the said city then called the House of Correction.

By deed poll, dated 6th April, 1578, Mary Ovyngton, daughter and heiress of the said Thomas Ovyngton, in accomplishment of the Will of her said father, gave, granted and confirmed the above mentioned one acre of pasture land unto five of the Alderman of Canterbury and five of the Common Council of the said city, their heirs and assigns, to the use of the Mayor and Commonalty of the said city, their heirs and successors for ever, for the purpose mentioned in the Will of the said Thomas Ovyngton.

This land is now let to Sameul HACKER, of the city of Canterbury, on lease, which will expire at Michaelmas 1834, rent 27l 5s; it makes part of the city revenue, and is employed in the purposes of the Corporation, except 1l. 6s. 8d. which the Chamberlain pays yearly as formerly to the poor of the city.
