Grand Master Masons of The Society
Until 1931, when the first Grand Assemblage was created, there were no Grand Master Masons, the Society opting instead for three ‘Master Masons’ in each Assemblage, as had been the practise in Guild masonry. Moreover, even after that date, when it was known that there had been three Master Masons, their names were not always recorded, particularly 3rd Master Masons, in the documents available to us today. Changes of meeting place, fires, war-time bombings, and losses resulting from the Society being administered from the homes of members who died ‘in office’, have all taken their toll and, reluctantly, we must now be content with the following list of Grand Master Masons which is the most accurate that can be produced. In some instances office holders have died or resigned during their term of office. When that has happened, a short-term successor is named only if he was formally appointed to that office. Otherwise the name of the original incumbent is left unchanged, only the date of his death or resignation being shown.It must also be borne in mind that from 1931 until the mid-seventies, it was not unusual for Grand Master Masons – sometimes all three – not to attend Grand Assemblage, or confusingly, for other members of the VII’ to deputise for them on official visits, signing their names in Attendance Registers and even on certificates, as the actual office holders. In this connection it should be noted that between 1933 and 1960, the average annual attendance at Grand Assemblage was only eighteen and, in 1948, was only six. As already explained, the Second World War years were particularly difficult.
