Heart of Glendale Lodge No. 4005 came into existence when it was

warranted on 21st November 1919 and met in a number of establishments in

Wooler after it’s initial meetings in the Archbold Hall, until a building was

purchased in 1952. The dedication of the building took place on the 3rd

December 1954

Freemasonry - making good men better

Charge - Be very cautious whom you recommend as a candidate for mem-

bership. One false step on this point may be fatal. If you introduce a disputa-

tious person, confusion will be produced which may end in the dissolution of

the lodge. If you have a good lodge, keep it select. Great numbers are not al-

ways beneficial.

Masonic Hall,

Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Fraternal regards & greetings

Dear Sir and Brother,

You are requested to attend the duties of the Lodge on Tuesday 19th

November 2019 at 6.30 pm precisely, this being a regular meeting.

By Command of the Worshipful Master 1/11/2019

Bro. T. Winson Secretary

Dress:- Dark suit, black shoes, white collar, black or craft tie, and white gloves.

It’s what we do !! - as recorded in the UGLE Quartely Communications of June 2019

W Bro Roger Michell, at over seventy-one years of age has walked with his wife Linda from

Freemasons’ Hall, Shrewsbury, to Freemasons’ Hall, Great Queen Street and arrived yesterday (11th

June). The walk has taken twelve days and over two-hundred and forty miles. The object is to

celebrate Shropshire’s 2019 Festival in aid of The Grand Charity. His walk completes a series of

walks around Shropshire with a total over one-thousand miles.

I believe the total raised is in excess of one thousand pounds

No matter what part of the Country you happen to be a Mason…..

…….. you just do what’s needed

Royal Arch Masonry

The next regular step for the Master Mason—AFTER THE THIRD DEGREE

As a Master Mason, you may well feel that you have completed the basic teaching of Freemasonry.

The three Craft degrees give the impression that they are self-contained and complete, however,

Royal Arch supplements the teaching of the three Craft degrees.

The Royal Arch is organised as a separate Order of Freemasonry distinct from the Craft degrees, yet

it complements the teaching of the Craft, which can only be truly appreciated by those who have

joined the Royal Arch. Indeed, the Royal Arch is described as both the foundation and keystone of

the whole Masonic structure; it is regarded as “the root, heart and marrow of Freemasonry”.

WHY JOIN ROYAL ARCH?

The Royal Arch is the culmination of "pure ancient masonry”. The Craft gives its members

eminently practical rules by which they can live their lives in the service of both God, however they

worship Him, and the community as a whole.

HOW TO JOIN ROYAL ARCH

The prime qualification for admission into the Royal Arch is to be a Master Mason, of at least

four weeks standing, in a Lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England, or a Lodge under a

Grand Lodge recognised by it.

As in all other Masonic Orders you will need a proposer and seconder who are members of the

Chapter in which you seek to be exalted. If your Lodge does not have a Royal Arch Chapter

attached to it, check your Lodge summons which may give details of either the Chapter attached

to it, or the member of the Lodge who is a Royal Arch Mason who will assist members interested

in joining the Royal Arch.
