J, Parrett. Ltd., Printers, Margate. 1938. THE QUATUOR CORONATI LODGE No. 2076, LONDON, was warranted on the 28th November, 1884, in order 1—To provide a centre and bond of union for Masonic Students. “■ attract intelligent Masons to its meetings, in order to imbue them with a love for Masonic research. 3- To submit the discoveries or conclusions of students to the judgment and ■ criticism of their fellows by means of papers read in Lodge. submit these communications and the discussions arising therefrom to the general body of the Craft by publishing, at proper intervals, the Transactions of the Lodge in their entirety. tabulate concisely, in the printed Transactions of the Lodge, the progress of the Craft throughout the World. 6- To make the English-speaking Craft acquainted with the progress of Masonic study abroad, by translations (in whole or part) of foreign works. To reprint scarce and valuable works on Freemasonry, and to publish Manuscripts, &c. 8.—To form a Masonic Library and Museum. 9-—To acquire permanent London premises, and open a reading-room for the members. The membership is limited to forty, in order to prevent the Lodge from becoming unwieldy. No members are admitted without a high literary, artistic, or scientific qualification. The annual subscription is two guineas, and the fees for initiation and joining are twenty guineas and five guineas respectively. The funds are wholly devoted to Lodge and literary purposes, and no portion is spent in refreshment. The members usually dine together after the meetings, but at their own individual cost. Visitors, who are cordially welcome, enjoy the option of partaking—on the same terms—of a meal at the common table. The stated meetings are the first Friday in January, March, May, and October, St. John’s Day (in Harvest), and the 8th November (Feast of the Quatuor Coronati). At every meeting an original paper is read, which is followed by a discussion. The Transactions of the Lodge, Ars Quatuor Coronatorum, contain a summary of the business of the Lodge, the full text oti^.the papers read in Lodge together with the discussions, many essays communicated by the brethren but for which no time can be found at the meetings, biographies, historical notes, reviews of Masonic publications, notes and queries, obituary, and other matter. The Antiquarian Reprints of the Lodge, Quatuor Coronatorum Antigrapha, appear at undefined intervals, and consist of facsimiles of documents of Masonic interest with commentaries or introductions by brothers well informed on the subjects treated of. The Library has been arranged at No. 27, Great Queen Street, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, where Members of both Circles may consult the books on application to the Secretary. To the Lodge is attached an outer or CORRESPONDENCE CIRCLE. This was inaugurated in January, 1887, and now numbers about 3000 members, comprising many of the most distinguished brethren of the Craft, such as Masonic Students and Writers, Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, and nearly 300 Grand Lodges, Supreme Councils, Private Lodges, Libraries and other corporate bodies. The members of our Correspondence Circle are placed on the following footing 1. —The summonses convoking the meeting are posted to them regularly. They are entitled to attend all the meetings of the Lodge whenever convenient to themselves, but, unlike the members of the Inner Circle, their attendance is not even morally obligatory. When present they are entitled to take part in the discussions on the papers read before the Lodge, and to introduce their personal friends. They are not visitors at our Lodge meetings, but rather associates of the Lodge. 2. —The printed Transactions of the Lodge are posted to them as issued. 3^_They are, equally with the full members, entitled to subscribe for the other publications of the Lodge, such as those mentioned under No. 7 above, j j *u 4._Papers from Correspondence Members are gratefully accepted, and as far as possible, recorded m the Transactions. 5_They are accorded free admittance to our Library and Reading Rooms. A Candidate for Membership in the Correspondence Circle is subject to no literary, artistic, or scientific Qualification His election takes place at the Lodge-meeting following the receipt of his application. The annual subscription is only £1 Is., and is renewable each December for the following year. Brethren joining us late in the year suffer no disadvantage, as they receive all the Transactions previously issued in the same members of the Correspondence Circle enjoy all the advantages of the full members except the right of voting in Lodge matters and holding office. - . t j j Members of both Circles are requested to favour the Secretary with communications to be read in Lodge and ^iihseouentlv nrinted. Members of foreign jurisdictions will, we trust, keep us posted from time to time in the current MaLnic history of their districts. Foreign members can render still further assistance by furnishing us at intervals with the names of new Masonic Works published abroad, together with any printed reviews of such also bear in mind that every additional member increases our power of doing good by r,nhli<=hing matter of interest to them. Those, therefore, who have already experienced the advantage of association with ns are urged to advocate our cause to their personal friends, and to induce them to join us. Were each ^ernher’ annually to send us one new member, we should soon be in a position to offer them many more advantages ihnn we already provide. Those who can help us in no other way, can do so in this. rv Master Mason in good standing throughout the Universe, and all Lodges, Chapters, and Masonic L'braries or other corporate bodies are eligible as Members of the Correspondence Circle.

  • A Short Description of the Original Building Accounts of Kikby Muxloe Castle, Leicestershire
    ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIRBY MUXLOE OASTLE. 87 A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIKBY MUXLOE CASTLE, LEICESTERSHIRE, RECENTLY DISCOVEBED AT THE MANOR HOUSE, ASHBY­DE­LA­ZoUOH. BY THOS. H. FOBBROOKE, F.S.A. The Manuscripts and other Documents belonging to the ancient family of Hastings, of Ashby­de­la­Zouch, are amongst the finest and most interesting in the kingdom. After the destruction of their ancient castle at Ashby, these papers were stored at Donington Hall, but since the recent sale of that estate have been housed at the Manor House at Ashby­ de­la­Zouch, where through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, they were exhibited to, and much admired by, the members of the Leicestershire Archaeological Society, on the occasion of their annual excursion last year. One of the most interesting of these MSS. is a XV. century book of building accounts, relating to the erection of Kirby Castle by William Lord Hastings, between the years 1480 and 1484. This book was first shewn to me when I was measuring the ruined castle at Ashby, the drawings of which were afterwards published by this Society in the Reports and Papers of the Asso­ ciated Societies' Publication, Vol. XXI., Part 1 (1911). On the discovery that the accounts related entirely to Kirby Castle, they were entrusted to my care through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, and I at once communicated with C. R. Peers, Esq., Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, who at that time was engaged on the conservation of the old ruin at Kirby, under the Ancient Monuments Act.

I acknowledge the help of Annette Mackenzie in proofreading. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 76, 553 words. Judy Stephenson, September 29th, 2015. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis was researched and written under some challenging circumstances. In mid-2012, with two small children, about to be a single parent, and in a financially precarious position I hardly looked like a good bet to complete a thesis, let alone make any sort of contribution. In such a situation, sometimes the outcome is as dependent on luck as dedication. I got lucky on a number of counts. The first, to have Prof. Patrick Wallis as a supervisor and mentor, his support and discipline were unwavering. I must have given him cause to howl with laughter as well as frustration many times.

A SHORT MASONIC HISTORY being an account of the growth of Freemasonry, and some of the earlier Secret Societies, by FREDERICK ARMITAGE Solicitoy, Member of the Law Society, Member of Correspondence Circle of Quatuor Coronati Lodge, Member of St. Paul's Ecclesiological Society, S-c. With illustrations. VOL. 1. LONDON: H. WEARE & CO, 64 LEADEN HALL ST.. E.G. 1909 FOREWORD. 'T' HERE is probably no topic of more elusive ^ nature to discourse upon than that of the secret societies which were the ancestors of modern Freemasonry, for the early ones are enshrouded in mystery, and their records have to be dug up from various writers and pieced together like a Mosaic, while with later ones there has always been a striving to find an early original amongst their historians, who fre- quently gave free rein to their fancies. Suc- ceeding authors, awed by the glamour of their topic, have gravely repeated in solemn tones the lighter fancies of their predecessors, and thus the ultimate harvest has been one of mixed grain and cornflowers. From such stories it is the duty of the present-day writer to try to pick out the real from the fanciful, and to tell the tale as it should be told.
