The first Master was W Bro T.D. Evans.</p> <p align="justify">W Bro T.D. Evans, a founder of the Lodge, had been the Master of a very ancient Cornish Lodge, Phoenix Lodge of Honour and Prudence No. 331, and he introduced several interesting additions into the ceremony, as do so many other Lodges, which serve to enhance the proceedings when performed.</p> <p align="justify">The Founders, when selecting a suitable Lodge name, appreciated the feelings that several of them had experienced when they were away from home, and the Lodge name was chosen accordingly.</p> <p ALIGN="right"><b><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="../author.htm">Adapted from a work by W.Bro.
