Honouring Our Past Masters

A complete list of the distinguished Brethren who have led the Croydon Lodge of Concord since its consecration in 1839.

The Role of the Worshipful Master

The Worshipful Master is the Brother elected by the Lodge members to preside over it for one year. He is the heart of the Lodge, responsible for conducting its meetings, managing its affairs, and acting as a guide and mentor to its members. Serving as Master is the highest honour a Lodge can bestow upon one of its own. The list below is a record of the unbroken chain of leadership that has guided our Lodge for over 180 years.

Below is the Roll of Honour of our Past Masters, a continuous line of leadership stretching back to our consecration in 1839. Each name represents a year of service and dedication to the Croydon Lodge of Concord and its principles. The highlighted years denote significant milestones in our Lodge's long and storied history.
