At Horsford Lodge on Tuesday 6th October 2026 the Brethren of Horsford Lodge and our guests gathered together to celebrate with W Bro Howard Anthony Stubbington PPDepGSwdB his 50 years in Freemasonry. W Bro John Clough invited Howard to join him on the floor of the Lodge where they sat and went through a This is your Life scenario. Howard described his early days in Horsford Lodge when we met in our previous home which was the West Wing of Broadway Hall in Horsforth right up to the present day. The W M Howard Thompson then presented Howard with his 50 year Jubilee certificate.
After the meeting an excellent festive board was enjoyed. After the toast to Howard given by W Bro Ian Cotton, who had known Howard for over 36 years, the W M presented him with a pair of suitably engraved crystal glasses.

WHY the gloves?

Nearly all Freemasons have them. Usually someone can be found frantically looking for a pair in their regalia case, only for someone else to offer a helping hand (or glove).

Originally, the reason why was practical. It dates back to the operative masons for whom it was the standard PPE, to protect the hands from rough stone, heavy labour, and to keep them clean.

Now, they are worn by Freemasons for the same reason that High Court Judges and Bishops historically wore white gloves: showing that their actions were pure, incorruptible, and done with reverence.

This isn't a dusty tome requiring gloves but you can learn about gloves here: https://solomon.ugle.org.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=1503

Our question to you this time is a fun one.

How many pairs of gloves have you owned?
