The Prince Of Orange

The Prince of Orange is an inn with origins in the 17th century, substantially refronted in the early 19th century, and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of rubble, rendered and colourwashed on the left side, with pantiled roofs, brick gable stacks on the left block, and rendered ridge and gable stacks on the right. The main range to the right is linked to a former stable block to the left, along with a front wing forming an L-shaped plan.

The building is two storeys high with five windows, all featuring 16-pane sashes in exposed boxes, arranged irregularly in height and spacing; four are at ground floor level. A 20th-century door is located second from right and second from left. The taller block to the left has a wide segmental-headed carriage door to the right and a large triple window with plate-glass sashes and segmental head at first floor right. A similar window to the left has 20th-century glazing. A single-storey 19th-century addition is attached to the front left, containing a door and a nine-pane light, both with cambered heads; a blocked loading door with a small gable is also present along with a blank gable end and roof crestings. The left and right returns are unrendered and have no openings.

The rear elevation includes a small 20th-century single-storey addition to the left, a central two-storey 19th-century parallel range with a single light and a six-pane sash at ground floor, and a three-light casement under the eaves. The left side has a small single light and a two-light casement at first floor. There is a small porch with a 20th-century door to the right, and a taller two-storey 19th-century rear wing with a sash window which has a wider central pane on the first floor, and a single-storey brick lean-to. A single-storey brick addition to the far right is not of particular interest.

The building is associated with George Lukins, born in 1744 and known after 1770 as the Yatton Demoniac; pamphlets relating to him are held in Bristol Library.
