Lodge Uno Corde No. 5736 was consecrated on 24th June 1938, at Freemason’s Hall, Great Queen Street, London WC2.

 

Lodge meetings were initially held at the Leicester Corner Restaurant in Leicester Square, London but “Enemy Action” destroyed that venue, in April 1941. The Lodge then moved to Freemason’s Hall where it prospered and the 50th Anniversary meeting in 1988 was well attended.  By the year 2000 however, numbers had fallen and a brief recovery following the admission of some keen young members was reversed when three of them went to work abroad.  The Past Masters kept it going for a while but in 2002 decided to hand in the Warrant.

 

A senior member of the Lodge had moved to Somerset, and made contact with a group of Brethren in Keynsham who were hoping to form a Saturday daylight Lodge.  Meetings were arranged and agreement reached that Lodge Uno Corde be moved to Keynsham

 

The Lodge was formally welcomed into Somerset on 1st March 2003 by the Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro David Jenkins, and the Provincial Team (Note was made that this was appropriately St David’s day).

 

The Lodge meets on Saturday mornings, and whilst the Brethren meet upstairs their Ladies are entertained by a speaker downstairs.  The Brethren and their Ladies then lunch together and many friendships have developed over the past few years from this happy arrangement.
