The Earliest Members of Lodge IV
Author: Christopher Powell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781788765695
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
For the historian of early English Freemasonry, Lodge IV is the most interesting and important Masonic Lodge of all. Now called the Royal Somerset House and Inverness Lodge No.IV, it was first known as the Lodge that met at the Rummer and Grapes Tavern, Channel Row, Westminster and then - from sometime before 1723 - as the Lodge that met at the Horn Tavern in New Palace Yard, Westminster. It was one of the so-called 'Four Old Lodges' whose members met at the Goose and Gridiron Tavern in 1716 and agreed to form a Grand Lodge, an event which took place on 24th June, 1717. Unlike the other three 'Old Lodges' which were essentially Lodges of operative masons,1 Lodge IV - the most recently founded of the four - was composed of a new breed of Speculative Masons, to use the contemporary terms: 'Gentleman Masons' or 'New Masons'. The most influential members of the new Grand Lodge were all members of Lodge IV.

Book Description
Over the past 200 years, many thousands of undergraduates have been initiated into membership of Apollo - the Masonic lodge of the University of Oxford. These have included such diverse figures as Oscar Wilde, Osbert Lancaster, Samuel Reynolds Hole, Cecil Rhodes, Edward, Prince of Wales and his brother Leopold, Charles Canning, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Godfrey Elton and Roger Makins.Drawing on archives held in the Bodleian Library, this book is the first serious attempt to set the story of Apollo in the context of Oxford life and learning as well as its wider social and political diaspora. From the devastating numbers lost in the First and Second World Wars, as well as those decorated for bravery, to the significant number of Olympians who were members of the lodge, it also charts the lodge's charitable work, its changes of location, social events and adaptation to twenty-first-century life in Oxford.Illustrated with archival material, portraits and Masonic treasures, this is history in a minor key, but a minor narrative with major implications, documenting the remarkable numbers of Oxford freemasons with distinguished careers in government, law, the army and the Church.
