Synopsis

A detailed documentary history of Hinckley’s Knights of Malta Lodge from the 1800s through the late 19th century.

Drawn from lodge records, certificates, and archival sources, this edition traces the lodge’s origins, its evolving practices, and the people who shaped its long life in Leicestershire.

The narrative covers how the lodge began under an Atholl warrant, its years of growth and turmoil, the 1813 Union of rival Grand Lodges, and the shift from an artisan-centered body to a more professional membership. It also catalogs rituals, degrees, and noteworthy moments recorded by the members, preserving a unique window into Masonic life in a changing era.

  • How the lodge was founded, its early warrants, and the significance of its names and numbers
  • Key ceremonies, degrees, and the governance that guided meetings and dues
  • The impact of the 1813 union on practices and leadership
  • Artifacts, certificates, and other items that illuminate daily lodge life

Ideal for readers of Freemasonry history and those curious about Leicestershire’s lodge traditions.
