Lodge Histories.
lod"ed in a fitting receptacle in our present home . There are no records of meetings from tho 1762 Lodge until 1783 , when -we find , on I 5 th February 1788 , a Lodge meeting at the Globe Inn , evidently a survival of a Lodge whioh roust havo been working elsewhere . There 13 no warrant or charter , bnt the minntes ( which are well kept , bnt verv brief ) give the officers , evidently not elected that night ; they
mention the raising of Bro . White from an E . P . to a F . C , and also give the name of a visiting Brother from a Lodge held at the Plough at Whitby . These minntes commence at the first Lodge held at tho Globe Inn . Previous meetings had evidently been hold elsewhere , and the record commences at the transfer to the Globe . Unfortunately the record of previous meetings and place of meeting is missing .
The Brethren worked regularly and systematically , and from this point the history of the Lodge is perfect . At this time there were throughout the country several irregular Lodges , working under no warrant or charter , yet mixing freely with recognized Lodges , and making Masons in ths whole of tho degrees . After working some months in this irregular manner , it was proposed tbat a warrant
shonld be applied for . An application was made to the P . G . M . of Yorkshire connected with the " Moderns . " A professional warrant or dispensation was granted by the P . G . M . ( Richard Slater Milnes , Esq ., M . P . ) , for a Lodge to be called " The Globe Lodge . " The warrant - was dated 23 rd August 1788 ; and was granted to Bro . Robert Scott W . M ., and Bros . Hngh McMillan and Jas . Schofield Wardens .
It must be remembered that at this date there -were three Grand Lodges existing in England . ( 1 ) The Old Grand Lodge of All-England at York . ( 2 ) The prince Masons , " Regulars , " or " Moderns " Grand Lodge , constituted 1717 , of which H . R . H . the Dnke of Comber , land was Grand Master . ( 3 ) The Grand Lodge of " Ancient" or " Athol" Masons ( established 1753 ) , of which the Earl of Antrim was
then Grand Master . The Scarborough Brethren were either general lovers , or else strong partizans , for the 1729 Lodge was established under a Modern warrant , the 1762 Lodge nnder a York warrant , and the 178 S again nnder a Modern charter . After working nnder this last warrant for three years , the Brethren very coolly resolved , on the 18 th February 1791 , to apply for a constitntion or warrant from the
" Ancient Grand Lodge , and for some years worked under both charters , the Lodgo being found on the roll of both Ancients nnd Moderns until 1799 , when it was erased from the " Modern " list , the Lodge evidently having elected to adhere to its last lov «\ The "Athol" warrant , the charter under whioh the Lodge at present works is dated 5 th March 1791 . In this charter , whioh is nnder the
seal of the Earl of Antrim , "Grand Master of Masons" as he is termed there is no name given to the Lodge—simply No . 236 . The Lodge continued in connection with the Athol Grand Lodge until the union of the rival Grand Lodges in 1813 , when with all other recognized Lodges it came nnder the jurisdiction of the " United Grand Lodge of England . " The warrant bears the names of William Potter W . M .,
Hugh McMillan S . W ., and Robert Scott J . W ., the last two boing also mentioned in the "Modern" warrant of 1788 . The Lodge had its home at the Old Globe Inn , from 1788 to October 1881 , a period of 93 years . On the 9 th October 1797 , the foundation stone of a Lodge room behind the Old Globe Inn was laid , with Masonio honours , the Brethren marched in procession , properly clothed , to the
Parish Church , whero a sermon was preached ; and the nsnal dinner followed . A similar procession , & c , was held the following year , 10 th September 1798 , when the Lodgo Room was consecrated . There aro many items of interest in the early minntes . These should form the subject of a further paper , and it is hoped will shortly be given fully in a printed history of Scarborough Masonry . Of the daughter
Lodges , the " Denison " has attained her majority , being founded in 1868 , whilst the " Leopold" is ten years younger boing founded in 1878 . I can only mention the remaining degrees , all of whioh are offspring of the " Old Globe . " Both the " Royal Arch , " " Mark , " and Knights Templar Degrees were worked previous to the dates of the present warrants . Their history alono would furnish a further
interesting paper . As at present constituted tho Old Globo Chapter dates from 1859 , the Denison Chapter from 1870 , and the Mark Lodge from 1866 . In 1867 tbe present Knights Templar Preceptory was formed , aud in 1875 a Priory of Malta was formed in connection therewith . In conclusion it may be truly said that our record is ono of which we may be justly proud . Whilst this is the festival of the
celebration of the ono hundredth year of tho possession of our present charter , it takes us back to an almost unbroken connection of 200 years of our town with the Craft , to which wo feel ifc an honour to belong . Long may it flourish , and may the genuine tenets and principles of Sreemaaonry be transmitted pure and unsullied through this Lodge from generation to generation .
