The Lodge of Melrose St. John No. 1² (No. 1bis)
Welcome
It is a privilege and a pleasure to once again be elected and installed as Right Worshipful Master of this most ancient Lodge which has a long and distinguished history. We believe that history shows the inexorable links from the operative masons who built the Abbey founded in 1136, through the 16th Century formation of trade guilds and their benevolent societies to the joining of gentlemen and the speculative Lodge we have today, reputedly making us one of the oldest if not the oldest Lodge of its kind.
I hope you enjoy the website and find the information it contains both interesting and informative. I can assure you that any Brother visiting the Lodge will always receive a most warm and fraternal welcome.
Philip J. Titley PM
Right Worshipful Master
