Biography

Christopher ARDEN (1788-1861) became a Freeman of Dorchester on 2 May 1809 when he was described as a gentleman. He married Jane Gwyne circa 1815 and they had 3 children baptised in Holy Trinity church Dorchester. He followed his father's profession becoming a surgeon, presumably carrying on the business when his father died in 1811. He was Bailiff of Dorchester 7 times between 1813 & 1831. When the existing Governor of the Company of Freemen, George STICKLAND suddenly died in office in 1824, he stepped into the breach serving as Governor from 12th February to 4th October that year, when Joseph STONE took over. He was to be elected Mayor of Dorchester six times in the years 1816; 1824; 1832; 1837; 1848 and 1852. When his wife Jane died during 4th qtr of 1849 his sister Ann came to live with him at No. 8 High West Street in Dorchester. Christopher Arden died at the age of 73 and was buried on 12 April 1861. He had died a few days before as the 1861 Census taken on 8th April only shows Ann living at 8 High West street. He left a will and an estate of under £6,000
