"...Most of the Dog Inn dates from the early 13th century and until
early 1500, together with its neighbouring houses, it is believed to
have been part of Archbishop Peckham's foundation for a Rector and six
Canons. The local court was held at the "Dog" from 1705 for nearly 200
years. One volume of the court proceedings is still retained within the
inn.
In one of the bedrooms there is a portrait of the lady of the house,
which was painted in the 17th century by an itinerant artist..." Snacks
available. Telephone: Wingham 339. |

The "Dog Inn" was part of the Canonical College of 1286, but may have been an
inn since 1549. It takes its name from the dog on the coat-of-arms of the
Oxenden family, great benefactors to Wingham, and especially St Mary's Church.
The year 1660 reports a major fire which badly damaged the College buildings and
"The Dog" in particular.
One reference found is in the Wingham Division Ale Licence list,
which shows the "Dog," Wingham, to be re-licensed for the sum of 8 shillings in
1740.
I have reference to this pub from the Kentish Gazette or Canterbury
Chronicle September 1768, when the paper advertised the sale of household
furniture of Colonel Parr, at his House in Burgate Street, Canterbury. It was stated that
catalogues could be obtained from this public house.
See Notes of 1768.
