The Worshipful Master Andrew Pippen of Trevethin Lodge was in attendance at St David’s Lodge in Rhymney for the newly installed Master’s first meeting!

Worshipful Masters from Jasper Tudor Lodge and Llantarnam Lodge were also in attendance.

On this occasion Andrew was there to work, and delivered a lecture he had written named “Egyptomania and it’s Assimilation into Freemasonry” which combined several Masonic Scholarly Articles to come to a conclusion as to why Freemasonry adopted Egyptian symbolism!

Another day, another Masonic engagement!

Tonight, not to cause confusion but our Worshipful Master of Trevethin Lodge, was installed as 2nd Principal of Aelwyd Chapter up in Merthyr Masonic Hall!

It was agreed just over 300 years ago that Royal Arch was the completion of the third degree in Freemasonry, and the therefore for completion of Antient Freemasonry. Before the creation of the United Grand Lodge of England the Moderns would practice Royal Arch as a side order in separate Chapter meetings, while the Antients would carry out Royal Arch ritual in their craft lodge meetings and they considered it to be the 4th degree. This, was the main reason for a serious split in early Freemasonry. That comprise was very specifically worded and that is why it is so important that we respect that decision made so many years ago!

Worshipful Master Andrew was out visiting tonight at Llantarnam Lodge 7901 supporting WM Chris in his last meeting before installing his successor after the Summer recess. Tonight Andrew also gave a talk on The History of the Senior Warden.

Also in attendance were the Worshipful Masters of the Lodge of Progress and Kennard Lodge … who are Past Provincial Stewards, so it was a very red night!

The History of Llantarnam Lodge 7901

The Masonic Province of Monmouthshire in the early 1960s was very vibrant and, indeed, was flourishing due to the newly found prosperity of the region. The rapid increase in memberships due to the wealth of employment opportunities arising from the construction of both the Richard Thomas and Baldwin Steelworks at Llanwern and the New Severn Bridge, combined with the Cwmbran New Town development and the increase in home building at Caldicot and Magor had given an increase to the local population due to the influx of both skilled and unskilled labour required to complete such major projects.

Cwmbran was already a major employer with such companies as GKN, Saunders Valves, Girlings and Burtons Biscuits (formerly Westons Biscuits) being ‘joined’ by Alfa- Laval, Ferranti I G Engineering Ltd, Just Rubber Ltd, Lin-Pac, with many smaller businesses springing up to service the aforementioned.

The consequence of such a dramatic change in the Province, and Newport in particular, meant that Lodges were experiencing a rapid increase in memberships, which in turn meant that progression to the ‘chair’ would in future be much ‘slower’.
