The Rev Bill Winthrop - Freemasonry lodges and Anglican Church Schools

        15. The Rev Bill Winthrop asked -

        (a) Since 1988 have there been any Freemasonry Lodges associated with any Anglican Schools?

        (b) What are they?

        (c) When were they established?

        (d) What Diocesan approvals were given for their establishment?

        To which the President replied -

        I am informed that, based on the information provided by diocesan schools, the answers are as follows -

        (a) Yes

        (b) "Lodge Torchbearer", Shore School;

        "The Lodge of the Kings School", The Kings School;

        "Lodge Trinitarian", Trinity Grammar School.

        (c) Shore - 1930

        Kings - 1947

        Trinity - 1977

        (d) As far as each of these schools can ascertain, no diocesan approvals were obtained (or, indeed, required) as the Lodges were established by old boys of these schools.
