275th Anniversary Meeting

On the 5th November 2026, Royal York Lodge of Perseverance No.7 celebrated their 275th anniversary at Freemasons Hall, London. The Lodge members welcomed visitors not only from Lodges within the UK, but from overseas too. The Grand Almoner of Greece, who is the father of the current WM, was also in attendance as was our Grand Patron, R.W.Bro Sir David Wootton PDepGM, as well as R.W.Bro Casper Lawson DepMetGM.

All assembled were treated to an excellent talk on the history of the Lodge, who as Lodge No.4, had been represented at the Grand Committee of the Antient Grand Lodge on 17th July 1751 by their then Master. The Lodge was renumbered “No.7” at the Union in 1813 and took the name Lodge of Hope in 1821, subsequently changing in 1832 to Royal York Lodge of Perseverance.

Here’s to the next 25 years and many more after that!
