réf. 46183Hersham: Privately published 2006. This book I believe will become a classic for the study of Freemasonry not only for the data and conclusions it provides but also for its methodology which might usefully be emulated by anyone wishing to seek out long hidden history previously dismissed as archaic legend. In addition and importantly it reveals that we underestimate the intelligence of our predecessors at our peril; sometimes we have to admit they did know what they were talking about however obtuse their language may have become to the modern ear."

First published in the The Pall Mall Gazette and the Pall Mall Budget on May 9th 1895. In the Sussex Edition the poem is dated 1894. ORG No. 634. Rudyard Kipling was initiated into the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance No 782 founded in 1858 under the English Constitution at the Masonic Hall the Jadughar as described in Kim in Anarkali Lahore on 5 April 1886 at the age of twenty. As this was the Lodge into which he was initiated it became his Mother Lodge. A Freemason will always have a particular attachment to the Lodge which saw him enter into Freemasonry even though he may cease to be a member of that particular Lodge. The poem was written some eight years later when he was living in Vermont. Charles Carrington in his The Complete Barrack-room Ballads p.166 reports that it was written in a single day on October 29th 1894 while Conan Doyle was staying with the Kiplings. It celebrates the equality which reigns among Freemasons without distinction of profession rank race or creed and the first two stanzas clearly reflect the diversity of this particular Lodge underscored by the refrain which contrasts the behaviour displayed in public with that shown inside the Lodge. The use of vernacular with the dropped �h� highlights the wide social rankings of the members." - See "The Mother Lodge" by George Kieffer 2017 London: Methuen And Co.

"There had also been several Lodges in Wolverhampton before St Peter�s was founded in 1834. The first Wolverhampton Lodge according to Willmore was constituted on 28th March 1732 the fourth in 1768 and he says that this town �appears�to have been the local centre of our masonic �forefathers� �. So it was to be for the Royal Arch Masonry in this Province. St Peter�s Chapter Wolverhampton - This Chapter chartered on 4th May 1842 is now the St Peter�s Chapter No 419.
