The History of Newark Masons
First 100 years Newton Lodge No 1661
W Bro Ady Crampton has kindly digitised a book charting the first 100 years of the Newton lodge and Masonry in Newark.
The book was written compiled by By L. H. HORDLE
"It is my hope that in a hundred years from now, some Brother as yet unborn will derive as much pleasure and interest in delving through the Lodge records for the second century as I have found in the first."
We hope this will be of interest to members of the current Newton lodge, as well as other Newark masons and future masons.
History of Free Masonry in Newark
First lodge in Newark was established in 1790. The town was without a lodge between 1833 and 1877.
Since then five craft lodges and over ten side degrees have opened.
See our new history page for more information.
