Welcome and Introduction
Here you will find a wealth of information regarding this lovely Mark Province of ours in Hertfordshire, and those of you who visit us on a regular basis will know that it is updated regularly thereby ensuring that the pages accurately reflect our current situation. So, be you a member of Freemasonry or, perhaps, just a visitor with a passing interest, I extend a warm welcome to you and trust that you will find our pages of interest. As a starter, our Province was constituted in 1886 and we are still going strong almost 120 years later. We are known as ‘Happy Hertfordshire’ and, within the two Orders under my jurisdiction, have 39 Mark Lodges and 31 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges. The aim of our site is to provide you with a clear and user friendly means of seeking specific information, or for just exploring the contents generally. You will see that we are a progressive and growing Province with the pages providing a history of Mark masonry and of the Province; details of Lodges and their locations; Executive and Provincial Officers; the Mark Benevolent Fund (MBF); our own charitable achievements and current goals, and details of our past years activities together with those relating to future planning and progression. I am, of course, most grateful to W Bro David Bondy, our Webmaster, and do thank him for his expertise in continuing to restyle and regularly update the site. Also to W Bro Chris Radmore for undertaking to ensure our pages are regularly reviewed. It now only remains for me to wish you well as you explore our pages and hope that you find them interesting enough to take the opportunity to make further visits.
