According to Grand Lodge Minutes, this Lodge lapsed in 1755.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Warrant was re-issued in the early 1760s to a Lodge meeting in Bridgend. This was a common practice of the 'Antients', when for a fee of typically one guinea, a Warrant of a lapsed lodge could be purchased, the money being given to the 'Board of Charity'. The first Grand Lodge Return of the Bridgend Lodge was in 1765, and among the names listed were Richard Price, Michael & William Flew and Benjamin Coffin. It is likely that this Lodge had been established earlier, for part of the entry for 1st March 1765 in the Diaries (1762-1795) of William Thomas, schoolmaster of Michaelston-super-Ely, near St. Fagan's (published in 1995 by South Wales Record Society & South Glamorgan County Council Libraries & Arts Department), is as follows: -</font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i>"The first of this month was held at the Bear Cowbridge, the Society of the Free Masons, being all about 24, and went to Cowbridge Church by two and two, in their white aprons, with their truels, hammers, and other instruments as belong to Masonry, according to their rank in the fraternity… Here was several of Bridgend Lodge, as the two Flews etc. of Cowbridge Lodge ....... of Cardif's Lodge….."</i></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">On 25th October 1777, the Grand Secretary, James Jones issued a replacement Warrant to Richard Price (W.M.), David Jones (S.W.) and Jenkin Williams (J.W.), the Lodge to meet at the 'Sign of the Bear' in the Town of Bridgend. The Bear Inn was situated on the corner of Cross Street and Elder Street, and part of that building can still be seen today, having been incorporated into the back of the present "Wyndham Arms" Hotel.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">It is believed that the Worshipful Master (WM) Richard Price was Dr. Price of "Tynton", Llangeinor (north of Bridgend), the famous preacher, philosopher and mathematician, whose treatise on 'Reversionary Payments' for the 'Equitable Assurance Society' earned him the epithet "Father of Life Assurance". Jenkin Williams, (Junior Warden), was married to Catherine Morgan, the daughter of Dr. Price's elder sister Sarah; William Flew had married Price's widowed younger sister Elizabeth and Benjamin Coffin was the son of Price's half-sister Mary, married to Walter Coffin. There are therefore a number of family connections linking Dr. Price with the Bridgend Lodge.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Soon afterwards the Lodge lapsed, the cause of which was reported by the then Junior Warden, D. Willyams, in a letter, dated 25th October 1803 to the Grand Secretary in London.</font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i>"I have to inform you Sir - that I became a member of Bridgend Lodge in '76. Soon afterwards, unfortunately and much to the Dishonour of Masonry, a misunderstanding took place amongst the leading Brothers and a total stagnation was the consequence. At that time Mr. Wm Flew was Master, Mr. Jenkin Williams Senior Warden and myself Jnr Warden."</i></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">In July 1808, John Bird, a prominent citizen of Cardiff, Clerk to the Marquess of Bute, Postmaster, Bookseller and Printer wrote to the Grand Sectary as follows: </font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i> "I have the pleasure of informing you, that I have obtained the Dormant Warrant No. 33 and dated March 15th 1753 afterwards renewed 24th Oct 1777 - from Brother William Flew MM of Bridgend.</i></font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i>"Mr. Wood Senr. was a member of the Lodge formerly held at the Old Bear Inn Bridgend under this Warrant, and he with the Brethren here are very desirous to have a Lodge established here by virtue of this Warrant, and in such establishment they entreat your assistance. We therefore beg you will send our Certificates as soon as possible that they might be signed and returned with the Warrant according to Instructions with which we hope to receive from you, with the least delay possible. "</i></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">This request was promptly dealt with and the endorsement on the back of the 1777 Warrant, transferring the Lodge to Cardiff with John Wood the Elder as W.M., was signed by Thomas Harper, D.G.M. and Benjamin Plummer, P.S.G.W. and Robert Leslie, G. Sec. on 20th August 1808. At 11 a.m. on Friday, 4th November 1808 a Grand Lodge, held by Dispensation, was opened at the Cardiff Arms Hotel, with Benjamin Plummer acting temporarily as Grand Master. During the proceedings the Lodge was constituted and John Wood Senior installed as W.M. Other officers invested included John Wood Junior, S.W., John Thackwell, J.W. and John Bird, Secretary.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">A few days later, at the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions held on 12th November, John Wood Junior and John Bird registered the Lodge with the Clerk of Peace, as required by the "Unlawful Societies Act" of 1799. The Clerk of Peace at the time was John Wood Senior! He and his son were prominent lawyers in Cardiff and held many of the key offices of Cardiff Corporation and the County of Glamorgan. For many years they acted as legal advisers to the 1st Marquess of Bute until they were dismissed in 1817, after accusations of mismanagement of Corporation affairs.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">In his letter to the Grand Secretary, dated Cardiff 18th June 1810, Benjamin Plummer, P.S.G.W. wrote: </font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i> "It is requested by this Lodge No. 33 Cardiff that they may be favoured by Grand Lodge to name their Lodge called the Glamorgan Lodge, which if complied with please insert in your Books & on The Certificates". </i></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"> Thus the name 'Glamorgan Lodge' dates from 1810. There was a move the following year to style the Lodge 'Royal Glamorgan Lodge', but this was not pursued.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">For the next 47 years the Lodge met in a particular room of the Cardiff Arms Hotel and during that time various furnishings were acquired. In the minutes of 8th February 1820 <i> "Ordered that 3 chairs might be procured under the direction of the W. Master and not to exceed Five Guineas Each and a platform be provided and one for each chair."</i> The Accounts Ledger shows that the cost was £17.13.0 (£17.65p) with a further charge in February 1821 for freight of chairs 6/9d (34p). These chairs, together with other items of furniture were sold to the Cardiff Masonic Hall Company in 1897 for £20 of Shares in the Company. They are still to be seen today in the entrance foyer at the Masonic Hall in Cardiff.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Following the formation of the United Grand Lodge at the end of 1813, Glamorgan Lodge met on 6 January 1814 when <i> "The resolutions of the Especial Grand Lodge of free and accepted Masons of England of the 8th November last was read and highly approved of. The articles of Union between the two Grand Lodges of England were also read and approved Unanimously." </i> As a consequence of the Union, Lodges were re-numbered and the 'Antient' Glamorgan Lodge No. 33 became No. 50 on the register of the United Grand Lodge of England.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Atholl Lodges did not have Provincial Grand Masters and after the Union, Glamorgan Lodge for many years ignored all communications from the Provincial Grand Master of South Wales. On the 8th January 1823, John Francis, Provincial Grand Secretary wrote to the Grand Secretaries in London thus: </font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i> "I am directed by the P. G. M for South Wales, Sir C. Cole, M P. to inform you that since he has had the superintendence of this province, he has not been able to get the W. Master of the Glamorgan Lodge No. 50 to attend to any of the many Summons's sent to him, nor have they in any shape answered one of my letters. It will of course rest with the G. Lodge to determine wether (sic) they are within his Jurisdiction, and if so, to issue orders accordingly."</i></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Unfortunately there is no record of any reply to this letter. The first mention of the Provincial Grand Master in the Glamorgan Lodge minutes is at a Lodge of Emergency on 11th August 1825, - <i> "The W.M. with his Officers & Brothers have determined to meet the P.G.M. at Carmarthen on the 16th Inst. "</i> The occasion was the laying of the foundation stone of the monument to Sir Thomas Picton, who had been killed at the Battle of Waterloo. The stone was laid by Lady Dynevor, assisted by the Provincial Grand Master and his Officers. There was a Grand Masonic Procession, which included the P.G.M. of Hampshire, The Lords Lieutenants of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire, the Corporation of Carmarthen and numerous clergy. Glamorgan Lodge was at the head of the procession of Provincial Lodges and at the banquet afterwards it was the first lodge to be toasted as 'Royal Glamorgan Lodge'.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">At a Lodge meeting 14th January 1833 a communication was read from Grand Lodge informing the Brethren that <i> "several Lodges having been erased, the number of this Lodge upon the Register of Grand Lodge will be No. 43."</i></font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The last meeting of the Lodge at the Cardiff Arms Hotel was on 11th June 1855, when Robert Langley was installed as W.M. Tuesday, 17th July saw the first meeting at the new premises at No. 4 Church Street, when one brother was initiated and five brethren were raised. Robert Langley was instrumental in the formation of the St. John's Chapter, (now No. 36), which was granted its Warrant on 7th November 1855. Likewise the 'Langley Mark Lodge', No. 28, with a Warrant dated 15th June 1859. Also in 1855, on the 11th December, the Lodge was presented with the Insignia of the late Sir Christopher Cole Bart, as Provincial Grand Master for South Wales, by the eminent antiquarian the Rev. John Montgomery Traherne. An executor of Cole's will and a member of Glamorgan Lodge, Traherne was married to Charlotte Louisa, the third daughter of Thomas Mansel Talbot (Cole's stepdaughter). For many years the Insignia was displayed in a glass case in the various Lodge Rooms and in June 1972 it was placed on loan to the Grand Lodge Museum, London.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Cole was succeeded as P.G.M. by Sir Josiah John Guest, who had been initiated in Glamorgan Lodge on 5th April 1810, passed on 7th August 1821 and finally raised on 20th October 1836, just before his appointment as P.G.M. for South Wales on 10th November 1836! His formal installation as P.G.M. was not held until Tuesday, 18th August 1840. This took place at Swansea and 15 Brethren of Glamorgan Lodge travelled in the Steam Packet 'Superb' in order to attend the meeting, returning in a like manner to Cardiff the following day!</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Sir J. J. Guest was succeeded by Col. Charles Kemeys Kemeys-Tynte as P.G.M., who was installed as such at a Provincial Grand Lodge held at Cardiff under the banner of Glamorgan Lodge on 6th August 1857. He had previously been elected a subscribing member of Glamorgan Lodge on the 11th May of that year, and he continued to be a subscribing member for the remaining 34 years of his life. On his visit to the Lodge on 11th June 1860, he thanked the Lodge warmly for his reception and alluded to the compliment paid him in placing his Coat of Arms in the Lodge Room, concluding by <i> "hoping that those who may also bear that shield in future may long be associated with the Glamorgan Lodge No. 43".</i> This Lodge Room was on an upper floor in the new Royal Arcade (The first of Cardiff's arcades) St. Mary Street and the Lodge had held its first meeting there on 11th July 1859. The Arcade's architect, Peter Price, was a member of the Lodge.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The consecration of Glamorgan's first daughter lodge, Bute Lodge, was held on 30 June 1863, with all but one of the consecrating officers being members or joining members of Glamorgan Lodge. Glamorgan Lodge also agreed to lend their harmonium, which had been purchased in 1860, for the occasion! The Brethren had finally agreed to sign the Petition for the new Lodge in their meeting on 8th April 1863, following five months of bitter disagreement and the final intervention of the P.G.M. Col. Tynte. Bute Lodge was originally No. 1262, but Grand Lodge decided once again to re-number all the lodges, thus in a letter from Grand Lodge, dated 8th July 1863, Bute became No. 960 and Glamorgan Lodge became No. 36, and which they remain to this day.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">From this time, the relationship between the two lodges was extremely cordial and at a regular meeting of Bute Lodge on 15th December 1863, the Worshipful Master of the Glamorgan Lodge, W. Bro. John Grierson was elected an honorary member of the Lodge. For many years after this, the Master of the Glamorgan Lodge was elected an honorary member of the Bute. On the 14th February 1877 Glamorgan, Bute and Tennant Lodges held a Masonic Ball at the Park Hotel (Now the Thistle Hotel); the Deputy Provincial Grand Master gave permission for the wearing of Masonic Aprons, Collars and Jewels on the condition that tickets were not sold to the general public and that Brethren did not appear outside the Ball Room in Masonic clothing. The Ball was a great success and £35 was sent to the Educational Fund. A similar Joint Ball was held again at the Park Hotel on 30th January 1894. During the period February 1882 to December 1896, the Glamorgan and Bute Lodges held a Joint Lodge of Instruction.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">On 9th April 1875 Glamorgan Lodge agreed to the formation of a Joint Lodge Committee with Bute Lodge to find new premises for a Joint Lodge Room. Final plans for a new Lodge Room in Working Street were accepted at the meeting on 30th May 1876 and the first meeting of Glamorgan Lodge in the Working Street premises was held on 12th January 1877. At this meeting Edwin Seward and George Thomas were initiated. Edwin Seward was the architect of the Coal Exchange, Mount Stuart Square, opened by Col. Sir Edward Stock Hill (W.M. 1869 -1870) on 1st February 1886. George Thomas was also an architect and by 1890 he was the Managing Director of the Barry Dock Town Syndicate and the Barry Land Company. He was installed on 11th September 1890, as the first W.M. of Barry Lodge, No. 2357, the third daughter lodge of Glamorgan. The second daughter lodge was Windsor Lodge, No. 1754, Penarth and Brethren of Glamorgan Lodge signed the petition for this Lodge on 8th March 1878.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">At the Installation of the Prince of Wales (Later Edward VII) as Grand Master at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday, 28th April 1875, Glamorgan Lodge was represented by the W.M., with his two Wardens and seven other Brethren.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">On 10th May 1895 it was agreed unanimously to support the Petition for a new lodge to be called 'The Prince Llewellyn Lodge' (4th daughter lodge) and <i> "the W. M and Wardens to sign the same ".</i></font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The previous month, on 14th April 1893 it was agreed <i> "That this Lodge, acting in conjunction with "Bute" and "Tennant" Lodges, sanction the purchase, by the Site Committee, of the premises selected by them for a Masonic Hall (viz. Guildford Street Chapel) for the sum of £4,500, and that this Lodge authorise the payment, out of the Lodge Funds, of a proportionate amount of the sum required to be deposited."</i> In 1894 the Masonic Hall Company was floated and finally on 26h September 1895, the new Temple was consecrated under the Banner of Glamorgan Lodge, with the P.G.M., Lord Llangattock, in attendance.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Shortly afterwards it was agreed to present the Lodge's Masonic Emblem of the Pelican to the Caer Daf Chapter No. 118, Sovereign Princes - Rose Croix of H.R.D.M., on the condition that it be renovated and hung in the new Masonic Temple. This was duly done and it is one of the interesting features still to be seen in the central panel of the western balcony of the Duke of Connaught Temple.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The first attempt to obtain a Centenary Warrant and Jewel goes back as far 1865 and over the years other unsuccessful attempts were made. Eventually the application was granted in 1908 and the Centenary of the Lodge was celebrated on 4th November 1908, exactly 100 years to the day after the Lodge was constituted at the Cardiff Arms Hotel. It is hoped that the Lodge will celebrate its Bicentenary on 4th November 2008.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Mention must be made of the sixth daughter lodge, Kibbor Lodge, No. 4364, with its Warrant dated 2nd November 1921. The founders of this Lodge waited a few years in order to get the number 36 incorporated in their number!</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">On 15th March 2003, the Lodge celebrated the 250th anniversary of the issuing of the original Warrant. As a consequence of that meeting, the Atholl Historian, W. Bro. Ray Sheppard, produced the Glamorgan Lodge family tree consisting of 101 lodges. This he presented to Glamorgan Lodge in December 2003 and it is now displayed opposite the entrance to the Duke of Connaught Temple, at the Masonic Hall, Cardiff.</font></p> <p align="right"><font face="Arial" size="2">W.
