Wear Valley Lodge No.1121 Remembrance Meeting

Tonight, we honoured the Empty Chair in memory of those Brethren who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Recently raised brothers Ben Key and Paul Newton (both with long service in the Armed Forces) then delivered their own researched presentation, “The Sword and the Square”, exploring the historic bond between military service and Freemasonry here in County Durham and beyond.

The theme of remembrance continued at the Festive Board, thanks to the thoughtful efforts of WBro Stephen Blain and the personal belongings kindly shared by our speakers.

And of course, this being Wear Valley Lodge No.1121, we still found time for a little fun too!

We will remember them. 🌺

24/10/2025

Join us at our next meeting on Wednesday 5th November, when our two newest members (and both ex-forces) Bro. Ben Key and Bro. Paul Newton will deliver a talk entitled “The Square and the Sword: Remembering Durham’s Warriors as Brothers.”

We will also be honouring “The Empty Chair.”

Please reserve a place if you wish to dine.
