Old Owen’s Lodge No. 4440 Celebrates it’s Centenary.

Consecrated in October 1922, having been sponsored by Egyptian Lodge No 27, Old Owen’s Lodge No. 4440 reached its centenary last October. On Saturday 27^th May, being an old school lodge, the Lodge Celebratory meeting was held in the Edward Guinness Hall of Dame Alice Owen’s School in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.

Dame Alice Owen’s School was founded in the small village of Islington in 1613 and was relocated to Potters Bar in the 1970’s. The Lodge previously met in the Edward Guinness Hall at the School in 2013 as part of the school’s 400^th Anniversary.

The meeting was honoured to welcome RW Bro Matthew Hampson, Dep MetGM. as its Guest of Honour with a deputation of other MetGL Officers. In total there was 69 attendees at the meeting. A brief presentation of the Consecration minutes was presented along with a little of the history of the Lodge, with a printed booklet covering the history. The Centenary Warrant was presented to the Lodge by RW Bro Hampson with an Oration thereafter from W Bro John Morrison, MetAGChap. A champagne reception and Festive Board followed all on site at the School.
