EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the past, we witness a gathering of the Orange Order in the subterranean vaults beneath Ladye Place in Hurley, Berkshire, during the late 1680s. The Orange Order, also known as the Orange Institution or the Orange Society, is a Protestant fraternal organization named after King William III of Orange, who led the Glorious Revolution in 1688, overthrowing the Catholic King James II and securing Protestant rule in England. The image captures a sense of history and tradition as the Orange Party members, dressed in their distinctive orange sashes and black bowler hats, come together in this clandestine setting. The vaults, with their rough-hewn stone walls and dimly lit atmosphere, serve as a stark reminder of the political instability and persecution that once defined this period in English history. As visitors gaze upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era when the Orange Order played a crucial role in preserving Protestant values and resisting Catholic influence. The instructor, standing at the front of the group, imparts wisdom and knowledge to the younger members, ensuring that the traditions and principles of the Order are passed down from generation to generation. The photograph, taken in 1847, offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the enduring spirit of the Orange Order and the importance of their role in shaping the religious and political landscape of England during the 1680s and beyond. This image invites us to reflect on the rich history of the Orange Order and the profound impact it has had on the world we live in today.
