Lodge History

 The Consecration Ceremony took place at The Town Hall, Evesham on the

14th January, 1909. The Presiding officer was no less than the Grand

Secretary, who just happened to be a distinguished Worcestershire resident, Sir Edward Lechmere F.S.A.

 

Also present was the P.G.M. R.W. Bro. Gen. Campbell C.B and approximately 100 other Brethren.

 

There were 8 founders’ and the Principal Officers appointed were:

 

W.M. W.Bro. Thos. Cox

I.P.M. W.Bro. J. Sladden

S.W. W.Bro. A.K. Lindsell

J.W. W.Bro. J.T. Williams

Sec. G.M. Wilton

 

Interesting items from the Minutes of the first meeting include the fact that 6 Joining Members’ and one Initiate were proposed and that the Founders’ Jewels were not ready in time! The Initiate was W. Gill Smith - a member of the family long  associated with the Evesham Journal.
