As we look forward to the next 150 Years.

Are your glasses charged in the West and South, the Worshipful Master cries;

They're charged in the West, they're charged in the South, are the Wardens'

prompt replies;

Then to our final toast tonight your glasses fairly drain.

"Happy to meet—Sorry to part—Happy to meet again again.

Oh! happy to meet again!"

HISTORY

The Lord Warden Lodge was officially designated The Lord Warden Lodge, No 1096 on 28th February 1866 when a warrant was issued from the United Grand Lodge of England, signed by command of the Grand Master, Thomas Dundas, the Earl of Zetland KG. The consecration ceremony took place on Saturday 21st April 1866 at the Royal Standard Hotel, Dover Road, Walmer. Therefore derives the story of this lodge as being a Walmer lodge, thus differentiating the Lord Warden Lodge from other Deal lodges. The location of The Royal Standard Hotel is believed to be on the Dover Road just past the junction with Liverpool Road.

The Royal Standard Hotel as it is now.

Formation of Lord Warden Lodge

Our records show that the petition for the formation of the Lord Warden

Lodge was made by the following brethren.

This petition was signed by the WM and Wardens of the Peace and

Harmony Lodge, No 199, Dover and presented to Grand Lodge on the

26th February 1866 with a recommendation from the Provincial Grand

Master of Kent, William Archer, Viscount Holmesdale (later to become

the 3rd Earl Amherst). Two days later a warrant was issued and The

Lord Warden Lodge No 1096 was officially designated.

FOUNDER MEMBERS

The founder members of the Lodge were installed, appointed and in-

vested as follows:

After the consecration (21 April 1866), 14 brethren were elected as

joining members.

Worshipful Master Robert Douglas

Immediate Past Master Timothy Morris

Senior Warden Thomas Marrable

Junior Warden Josiah Robinson

Treasurer Carl Liebermann

Secretary George Lennock

Senior Deacon William Barlow

Junior Deacon Richard Moss

Inner Guard George Northover

Director of Ceremonies Thomas James Usher

Stewards Edward Hammond; John Smith;

Richard Cockings and John Dooley

Two initiations followed:

John Branville Harrison, age 40, Vicar of Walmer was passed on 15 March 1867; and James Hinton, age 36, Surgeon, residing at The Barracks, Walmer, who sadly left on active service in 1867 before any further advancement.

Interestingly, all had paid their quarterage to benevolence of 2/- (10p)

and 2/6 (12.5p) for registration fee and certificate as founders and join-

ing members. In the case of the initiates, the sum for registration and

certificates was 17/- (85p).

EARLY MEETINGS

In the early days of the Lodge, most of the Lodge Meetings were

held in public houses, particularly more so if the landlord himself

became a member of the Lodge. Lodge records show that a total of

56 Publicans (or Licensed Victuallers as they were called) became

members. After the consecration ceremony, Lodge meetings were

held on the first and third Fridays of every month at The Royal

Standard Hotel, North Barrack Road, Walmer. The very next year,

the venue changed and continued to change as below:

1866 The Royal Standard Hotel, Dover Road, Walmer 1867 The Lord Warden Inn, North Barrack Road, Walmer 1870 The Leith Estate Office, The Strand, Walmer 1872 The Lord Warden Hotel, North Barrack Road, Walmer 1876 The Public Rooms, Park Street, Deal 1879 The Lord Warden Hotel, North Barrack Road, Walmer 1880 St George’s Hall, Park Street, Deal 1893 The Forrester’s Hall, North Barrack Road, Walmer 1894 St George’s Hall, Park Street, Deal At the turn of the century it became apparent that this situation was

most unsatisfactory and a new purpose built Masonic Hall was pro-

posed for Sondes Road.

In 1910 the Masonic lodge room was built. Foundation stones were

laid on 10th May 1910 and an emergency meeting was held on 27th

September of that year, under the banner of the Wellington Lodge

to open the new building. WBro Wilfred Court, Worshipful Master of

the Wellington Lodge presiding. In 1910, when the Masonic Hall was

opened, it served The Wellington Lodge and The Lord Warden

Lodge; today it also serves The George Hamilton, Globe and Laurel

and The Downs Lodge’s.
