  • Lodge History 1993 for Website 23102015
    A Brief History of the Constitutional Lodge 294 INTRODUCTION 1993 saw the celebration of the Bi-Centenary of the CONSTITUTIONAL LODGE number 294, in the Province of Yorkshire North and East Riding. An ancient lodge, in an ancient town. This history was written at the time and W Bro Gavin Collinson PPGReg our Lodge Librarian/Archivist (who was a prime mover in creating it in 1993) has now transcribed it for use on the website. In an area of such antiquity it would be expected that Freemasonry would have started early. One would perhaps expect that speculative masonry would have commenced in connection with the collegiate church of St. John of Beverley, The Minster. This is not the case, however, although Beverley is the host to St. John's masonry. Operative Masonry, as you are aware, has its origins deep in history with masons working (since the days of ancient Egypt) on buildings of importance and note which required finishing, to a higher degree than the normal buildings of those days. Raising the quality of work beyond that crude, rough level attained by labourers. The skills required to shape stone were passed on by a Master Mason to his apprentices over long periods of training. They were regarded as secret and were well guarded by those who possessed them. A mason travelled from town to town to participate in whatever major work was taking place and would meet with other Masons in order to discuss working methods and share their secrets. They did this in lodges, groups of masons would meet together discuss their work and dine together, this latter dining was an expression of hospitality extended to fellow masons.

A good launching point is approx. 20ft upstream from the metal gantry. Immediately encounter Bingley Weir. If there is enough water you can shoot this to the far right. If not, then carry over. A stopper with a long tow back develops at the weir base in high water. Always check the weir before you get on. 2. Once past the weir the river narrows and becomes more picturesque. Beware of low hanging trees. 3. The best course is down the centre of the river. At Myrtle Park be aware of the height of the metal bridge if the river level is high. Find out more information at: gopaddling.info PADDLING TRAIL Bingley Ring: River Aire & Leeds Liverpool Canal 4. At 0.7 miles, Harden Beck joins from the right.

ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE by K. A. MACMAHON, Senior Staff Tutor in Local History, The University of Hull © East YQrk.;hiT~ Local History Society '96' ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE A major purpose of this survey is to discuss the ongms, evolution and eventual decline of the turnpike trusts in eastern Yorkshire. The turnpike trust was essentially an ad hoc device to ensure the conservation, construction and repair of regionaIly important sections of public highway and its activities were cornple­ menrary and ancillary to the recognised contemporary methods of road maintenance which were based on the parish as the adminis­ trative unit. As a necessary introduction to this theme, therefore, this essay will review, with appropriate local and regional illustration, certain major features ofroad history from medieval times onwards, and against this background will then proceed to consider the history of the trusts in East Yorkshire and the roads they controlled. Based substantially on extant record material, notice will be taken of various aspects of administration and finance and of the problems ofthe trusts after c. 1840 when evidence oftheir decline and inevit­ able extinction was beginning to be apparent. .. * * * Like the Romans two thousand years ago, we ofthe twentieth century tend to regard a road primarily as a continuous strip ofwel1 prepared surface designed for the easy and speedy movement ofman and his transport vehicles.

But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no- one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions. Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now.
