Mark Grand Lodge honours brethren of the Province with Mark Grand Rank at the annual Investiture Meeting on the 11th June 2019

Created on Sunday, 16 June 2019 13:10

At the meeting of Grand Lodge of MMM held at UGLE Gt.Queen Street on Tuesday 11th June, two brethren of the Province received Grand Rank appointments from the Grand Master, M.W.Bro. HRH Prince Michael of Kent.

W.Bro. Brian Hornigold of Ferrers Lodge No. 1341 received an active first appointment of Assistant Grand Sword Bearer and W.Bro. Mike Nixon of Ailwyn Lodge No.1871 a first appointment of Past Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies.

Sadly, due to a knee injury, the Provincial Grand Master R.W.Bro. Robert Stokes, had to cancel at the last minute but a total of thirteen brethren from our Mark Province, including the two candidates, enjoyed a superb ceremony presided over by the Grand Master, M.W.Bro. Prince Michael of Kent. In his address toward the end of the meeting he spoke about an initiative taking place in London in September 2020 being the first ever Mark Keystone Conference bringing together representatives from daughter and sister Constitutions to discuss the challenges and leverage the opportunities facing the Order.  The next major initiative after the St.John Ambulance project was also mentioned and opportunities to support national programmes in the dementia care, loneliness and prostate cancer sectors are being considered for support. It was also noted that the Grand Master was celebrating 40 years in Mark Masonry and at the end of the meeting was given a rousing three cheers led by the Grand Secretary. A memorable day both for the 200 plus candidates and all those in attendance.


For the second year in succession, the Promotions meeting will be held at the Mark Grand Lodge meeting on the 10th September when W.Bro. Trevor Boswell of Simon de St.Liz Lodge and W.Bro. Andrew Woodward of The Graftonian Lodge will both receive promotion to Past Grand Junior Deacon.
Why not put that date in your diary and come along to an enjoyable day in support of those worthy candidates.

W.Bro. Mike Nixon received Past Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies and W.Bro. Brian Hornigold received Assistant Grand Sword Bearer.

Powys Lodge of Mark Master Masons No.685 celebrates Centenary.

Created on Sunday, 26 May 2019 13:19

In the month of May 1919 the Powys Lodge of MMM No.685 was Consecrated taking its name from the 5thBaron Lord Lilford, John Powys, who was Provincial Grand Master of the Mark Province of Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire between 1912 and 1939.  As well as giving his name to this Mark Lodge he was also a founder in the formation of Lilford Lodge MMM No.471 and Powys RAM Lodge No.477. which celebrated it 100thyear in 2018.

Exactly 100 years to the day on the 21stMay 2019, the Lodge held, by an emergency meeting, it’s Centenary Meeting at the Masonic Hall, York Road, Kettering.

Members and guests in attendance were honoured by the presence a number of senior brethren from Mark Grand Lodge, namely that of the Assistant Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Stephen Davison, the Grand Secretary, R.W.Bro. Ryan Williams and the Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies, W.Bro. Mark Golding.  Also attending was the Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Bob Stokes, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, W.Bro. Brian Elliott and a large number of active Officers of the Provincial Team in support of the Provincial Grand Master.  In all around 50 attended the meeting.

The AGM took the Chair to present the Lodge with its Centenary Warrant before which he called upon the Grand Secretary to read in full the original Warrant of 1919 and then the Centenary Warrant was presented to the Worshipful Master, W.Bro. Kevin Williams.  The historic origins of the Lodge was then delivered in a very interesting presentation by W.Bro. David Jackson who spoke about the Lilford family connection as well as the town’s links with leather and lace making.

The Chair was then taken by the Provincial Grand Master who along with members of the Provincial team and those of the Lodge dedicated a banner for the use of the Lodge.  Following the dedication an oration was ably given by the Provincial Chaplain, V.W.Bro. Tony Avery on the origins and purposes of masonic banners which was well received by all present.

A presentation to all members of the Lodge of a centenary jewel had to be unfortunately postponed to another occasion due to its delay being received in good time from the manufacturers. However, the AGM kindly agreed to make a return visit to the Lodge on a future occasion and to undertake this pleasant duty.

The brethren retired to enjoy a wonderful festive board of Mark fellowship during which and to the enjoyment of all, the Assistant Grand Master gave an entertaining reply to his toast.

 

The Powys Lodge Banner

After 100 years of continuous service the Powys Lodge of MMM No.685 now has a Lodge banner.

The design shows a leather hide fringed with lace depicting the industries of the town from whence the founders were largely drawn.

Our Provincial Grand Master Welcomes You

On behalf of the Mark Master Masons and Royal Ark Mariners of the Province of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire, I welcome you to our Provincial Website, which I hope you will find both informative and interesting.

Our Mark Province is steeped in masonic history, the oldest Lodge received its Warrant in 1879, fifteen years before the Constitution of the Province of Northampton, Huntingdon and Bedford in 1894.  Previously the Province was known as Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutlandshire.

With the Constitution of the Province of Bedfordshire in 1985, the Province of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire was created and remains as such to this day.

The Province, of which I am the 11th Provincial Grand Master since 1894, consists of 16 Mark and 13 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges.

The two Degrees are collectively known as the “Friendly Degrees” and like all of the masonic degrees they carry an important message covering the manner in which we conduct our day to day lives and encourage learning and the expansion of our knowledge.

Should you like to join the “Friendly and Happy” Mark Degree or just learn a little more, please use the 'Contact Us' Tab.
