Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Hertfordshire

did you know ...

Mark Masonry was originally practiced as part of Freemasonry in England within the structure of the Craft Lodge. At the Union of the two Grand Lodges in 1813, the Mark degree was not recognised and did not form part of the organisation. In the 1856 an attempt was made to re-introduce it, but when this failed a separate Mark Grand Lodge was created.

Mark Masonry consists of two degrees - that of Mark Man and Mark Master Mason. Both are carried out in the one ceremony. It develops the theme of the Fellowcraft Freemason, although it must be said that the Mark degree as practiced under other jurisdictions does differ somewhat from the English ceremony, and in some Grand Lodges, the Mark degree is a pre-requisite for the Holy Royal Arch, and is worked in the Craft Lodge or the Royal Arch Chapter
