Freemasonry  in  Gibraltar

 

THE FIRST TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF THE CRAFT IN GIBRALTAR

(From a talk given by V.W. Brother J.W.V. CUMMING whilst Master of the Gibraltar Masters Lodge No. 3825 in 1946)

In offering this short resume of history, I must apologise for its somewhat unpolished and disjointed make-up, which is due to the pressure of my public and private avocations as much as to my own comparative lack of knowledge on a subject with such a multitude of ramifications. If any Brother has any criticism to offer I would welcome it, as I would any additional information on the subject generally, or as to further sources of information.

Although there is reason to believe that it was working unofficially during the siege of 1727 (23 years after the British took possession of the Rock), the first Lodge in Gibraltar was not constituted by the Grand Lodge of England until 1728, when a "deputation" to certain Gibraltar masons authorised them "for and on behalf" of several other Brethren and non-commissioned officers and others to be constituted a regular Lodge in due form. Irish masons from the Regiments in the Garrison during the 1727 siege were among its earliest members and, indeed, it is recorded that Irish masons also took part on the enemy side where they served in the "Irish Brigade", a body of professional soldiers or mercenaries, which became famous in all the wars of Europe for two centuries.

The new Lodge was given the number 51 on the roll of the Grand Lodge of England. This was before the secession of the "Ancients" and it continued always under the government of the original Body or "Moderns". It was at first called the Lodge of St. John of Jerusalem and was subsequently given the honourable title of Mother Lodge of St. John, and was for many years referred to affectionately just as "Mother Lodge". It was second in seniority only by a few months to the Lodge of the Three Fleur de Luces at Madrid, which is acknowledged to be the first to be formed in foreign parts.

Three years after the Constitution of the Mother Lodge, Captain James Cummerford, one of its founders, was appointed P.G.M. of Andalucia, which as we learn from the terms of subsequent patents comprised the Rock or Fortress and places adjacent. Bro. Colonel J.G. Montresor, who was the Chief Engineer of the Fortress and also a founder of Mother Lodge, succeeded Cummerford in 1752. His patent provided for the erection of a District Grand Lodge, which has continued ever since except for a brief interregnum. He embarked two years later for America and was succeeded by Bro. Cummerford, then a Colonel

A famous Irish Lodge No.128 in the 39th Regiment of Foot was the second founded in Gibraltar. This was in 1742. It departed in due course when the Regiment moved on and continued in existence until 1872, during which time it was issued with duplicate warrants on no less than three occasions. It is said that the first freemason to be initiated in India was made in this Irish Lodge.

In 1756, five years after the great schism, which divided the governing body into two rival Grand Lodges, a Lodge No.58 in the 14th Regiment was formed under the Ancients, the first under this authority in Gibraltar, which eventually travelled away with the Regiment and finally lapsed some twenty years later.

In 1762 a Lodge named the Lodge of Inhabitants No. 285 was constituted under the Moderns that continued in existence until after 1800. It is recorded that this Lodge met to constitute another Moderns Lodge, The Lodge of Friendship in 1791, and it is a signatory of the provisional patent for Bro. Sweetland.

1772 was an important date in the history of Gibraltar freemasonry as in this year the 2nd Battalion. R.A arrived from Scotland after staying a short while in Mahon, Balearic Islands. A travelling Lodge constituted in this Battalion at Perth in 1767 as No. 148 under the Ancients was in flourishing condition and became firmly established among members of the garrison. At first an exclusively military Lodge, in 1807 the first civilian member to be initiated in it was John Nicolls, described as "inhabitant". The Lodge met with considerable opposition on its arrival in Gibraltar, as will be seen later, but survived to tell the tale. It still works as Lodge of St. John No.115. By the time the 2nd. Battalion RA moved back to U.K. in 1826 a number of prominent local citizens had been initiated and the civilian members, with the consent of the very few artillery men left in the Lodge, petitioned Grand Lodge for a warrant of confirmation as a civilian Lodge. This was granted and the original warrant and records of the military days were returned to Grand Lodge where they can still be seen.

 The advent in 1772 of this Lodge under the Ancients was viewed with disfavour by the other two locally constituted Lodges, who worked under the Moderns, that is The Mother Lodge and the Lodge of Inhabitants, and they attempted to exclude 148 from taking part in the customary public procession on St. John’s Day in the winter of 1773. Four of the Irish military Lodges present at the time successfully supported No. 148 and the Grand Lodge of Ireland endorsed their action when the matter was referred to later. The minutes of the Ancient Grand Lodge on 15th of December 1773 say "Heard a letter from 148 at Gibraltar setting forth that a set of people who had their authority from the Moderns Grand Lodge thought it proper to dispute the legality of the said warrant No. 148. That in the said garrison there was also held Lodges 11, 244, 290 359, 420 and 466 on the registry of Ireland and 58 on the registry of Scotland". Captain Murray RN for the services rendered by him on this occasion to No. 148 "in proving the authenticity of their Warrant" was voted a gold medal by the Ancient Grand Lodge on 4th of June 1777.

The 2nd Battalion, RA were still, of course, in Gibraltar at the time of the Great Siege from 1779 to 1783 and records show that when the siege commenced, the Lodge was open and working. The Brethren, all artillerymen, were called from labour to refreshment to man the guns and it was not until early in 1783 that the Brethren again assembled and were called from refreshment to labour. The Lodge being then closed in due form after three and a half years. It is also recorded that the refreshment afterwards consisted (after a long siege!) of bread, cheese and beer.

In 1777 another Ancients Lodge was warranted as the Ordnance Lodge No. 202, Admission to which was restricted to officers and artificers in HM Ordinance establishment. When the original Lodge of Inhabitants lapsed in 1807, No. 202 took over the name of Inhabitants and still works with us as No. 153. Of this Lodge more later.

In 1792 there were no fewer than eleven military or travelling Lodges in Gibraltar, one Scottish in 32nd. Regiment. six Irish in 1st, 11th, 18th, 46th, 51st and 68th Regiments., three English Ancients, one in 50th Regiment., one in RA (No. 148) and the Garrison Lodge (?) and one with a Provincial Warrant in the Company of Artificers. Brother R.F. Gould records mention of three other Lodges of the same character as having recently left the garrison, besides a Warrant No. 61 Irish held by the officers of 32nd. Regiment. but for neglect erased.

 Another Lodge had been formed in the 1st. Bn. RA (No. 230) by 1786 when the Provincial Grand Lodge under the Moderns changed its allegiance. In a communication addressed by the Grand Secretary of the Moderns to the Grand Master, dated 20th of March 1786 he states "that the Provincial Grand Lodge of Andalucia, which had been under the government of the Moderns for upwards of twenty years, had offered for a Warrant under the Ancients", also that "the said Grand Lodge consisted of none under the degree of an ensign and who had refused to act longer under the authority of the Moderns (even) though the Duke of Cumberland is said to be their Grand Master".

The Provincial Grand Lodge was warranted by the Ancients as No. 220, and had under its authority No, 148 (now St. John’s), No. 202 (now Inhabitants), as well as that newly constituted in the 1st. Battalion. RA

It also took under its authority the many travelling Lodges, which passed through the garrison notwithstanding that they often belonged to the Irish or Scottish Constitutions. No recognition was given, of course, to the Moderns except for prohibitive clauses in the local byelaws. Although the Provincial Grand Lodge went over to the Ancients, the Moderns Lodges stood out and there is no record of any co-operation by the Lodges under the different governments. At this time there were five Moderns Lodges, Mother Lodge which by now had become No, 24, Inhabitants No. 159, Hiram's Lodge No. 460, Calpean No. 465 (now Royal Lodge of Friendship and the only Modern which survived), and the Lodge of Friendship No, 486. 

The visiting military Lodges lent willing allegiance to the Provincial Grand Lodge, from which it derived obvious advantages and to the Offices of which they were held to be eligible, and there is not the least doubt that the Grand Lodge of Ireland, at least, ordered its army Lodges to submit to its local authority whilst in Gibraltar.

The Minutes of the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1789 show that a letter was read from Bro. John Ross (an Irish mason who was the first PG Master of Andalucia under the Ancient Warrant) stating the ill conduct of sundry Brethren of No. 244 IC held in the 2nd. Regiment, of Foot and consequent censure laid upon them by Provincial Grand Lodge. It was ordered that the thanks of Grand Lodge be expressed to Bro, Ross for his care and attention to the Ancient Craft. Another minute date 4th July 1793 records that Lodge 617, an officer’s Lodge held in 32nd. Foot, wrote complaining of their suspension by the Grand Lodge of Andalucia and they were ordered "while in Gibraltar to conform to its laws and regulations". After the Union in 1823 the pressure that was laid upon military Lodges to give up their Irish warrants and accept English ones disturbed this harmonious working. The records of the next dozen years are full of protests coming from Irish Lodges abroad and being passed from Dublin to London. It must be remembered that the number of military Lodges warranted by the Grand Lodge of Ireland was far greater than those warranted by the other two Constitutions, so much so that the history of military Lodges is largely a history of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. 

The following extracts of correspondence are taken from a Minute book of the P.G.L. of Andalucia and it shows the changed attitude, although it must be conceded that it deals with two points of principle on which the Grand Lodge of Ireland would always have maintained its authority, firstly, permission to hold a Lodge and secondly the right to demand dues. 

Extract of a letter received by Irish Lodge No. 309 from the Grand Lodge of Ireland dated 9th June 1815 to Sgt. James Baird M.M.

"I observe by yours that 309 made a report to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Andalucia, and took permission to set the Lodge to work, and that they have exacted dues from your Lodge. In the first instance 309 had not the slightest reason or cause to report themselves, serving as they do under an independent authority nor should 309 take directions from or pay any dues to any such Provincial Grand Lodge which the Grand Lodges of England and of Scotland would not have either demanded or received and which our Grand Lodge have never demanded or received from any English when in Ireland. The necessary friendly and Brotherly communication with the Provincial Grand Lodge we should be willing to pay with every respect to the authority of its local laws and regulations but certainly not any farther. Your own Grand Lodge does not take dues from military Lodges except when at home and it would be a great hardship to submit to pay to an assumed authority what you are not bound to do to your legitimate one.

I am sir and Bro. Your most obedient W. Graham. D. Grand Secretary."

A copy of this letter was forwarded to the Grand Lodge of England by PGL, with the following letter dated 14th June 1815.

 "Dear Sir and Bro.

I am directed by the R.W. Provincial Grand Master of Andalucia to forward you a copy of a letter received from the Grand Lodge Of Ireland, (addressed to Lodge No. 309) held in the 26th Regiment. Of Foot and that it is the opinion of the R.W, Provincial Grand Lodge assembled that the above letter is couched in language highly unbecoming the O.B. of Freemasonry and tending very much to lead astray the Craft, we have therefore to request you will inform us, as the Provincial Grand Lodge was established by your sanction, whether a Lodge, civil or military working under the Grand Lodge either of England, Ireland or Scotland, during its residence in this garrison is not to attend the duties of the R.W. Provincial Grand Lodge and pay into its chests the same as all the other Lodges under the sanction of this Province. I wish also to inform you that the other Lodges held under the same circumstances as No. 309, have never withheld their contributions, and we are very much surprised to see so respectable a body as No. 309 withhold theirs, as it must throw stigma on the Craft and render it difficult for the other Lodges of the garrison to combine with such Brotherly love and affection as they would otherwise do if that Lodge were not to withhold the above quarterly charitable contributions,

I am etc. Thos. Clarkson. Secretary. P.G.L. Andalucia."

It only remains to point out that the Minute book of the P.G.L. of Andalucia also records that before the receipt of the Grand Lodge of Ireland’s instructions, No. 309 had attended P.G.L. with 43 members and paid nine reals, but whether they were exacted or not the record does not show.

This Ancients Provincial Grand Lodge constituted many military Lodges, which were given local numbers and of which there is little if anything recorded. In 1804 there were at least nine holding Provincial Warrants. The Lodge obtained great prestige through the appointment of the Duke of Kent as District Grand Master in 1790,

He held the Office for ten years and subsequently became GM of the Ancients, which he was at the time of the Union. As D.G.M. he was away from Gibraltar during all his term of Office and as far as can be seen from the records available he did not arrive in Gibraltar until 1802. He was Governor of Gibraltar from 1802 to 1820 which includes the period when he was in England negotiating and arranging for the great Union of the two Grand Lodges in 1813.

His absence from Gibraltar while D.G.M. left the District without a head in difficult times, and four of the Moderns Lodges apparently in order to steal a march on their Ancient Brethren, assembled and produced the provisional patent authorising Bro. Sweetland to be Acting Provincial Grand Master under the P.G.M. the Duke of Kent referred to earlier. Why the fifth Moderns Lodge did not also sign this document is a mystery. This was the venerable old Mother Lodge of St. John No.24, and it can be seen on the document that there is space for a fifth seal which was not used. Bro. Grand Lodge confirmed Sweetland’s appointment, but of the Moderns Lodges, which appointed him in the first instance, only one remains. The Mother Lodge also lapsed soon after 1800, as did Inhabitants Lodge (these two were the oldest in Gibraltar), Hiram's lodge and the Lodge of Friendship also lapsed at this time. It would be interesting to know the real reason for all these well established Moderns Lodges lapsing at about the same time, and it might well have been the influence of the Duke of Kent, an enthusiastic Ancient mason who was Governor and Commander in Chief of a community of mainly military masons. 

In 1831 the name of the now defunct No. 24 was taken over by the civilian Artillery Lodge that became, and still works as, the Lodge of St. John, Other changes took place in names at about this time. Ordnance Lodge took the name of the lapsed Lodge of Inhabitants in 1803, and the Calpean Lodge took over the title of the lapsed Lodge of Friendship in 1815 and they work with us under these names today.

After the Union in 1813, two other Lodges were formed, one in 1819, which took the discarded name of the Ordinance Lodge and the other in 1822, which took the old name of Calpean Lodge. The first of these surrendered its Warrant in 1826 in which year the Irish masons here took out a warrant from the GL of Ireland as Calpe Lodge No.325 which has continued working uninterruptedly ever since. The new Calpean Lodge was erased in 1862.

1876 was a very important year for Freemasonry in Gibraltar, as it was in this year in what was probably the most important and impressive ceremony in the history of the Craft in Gibraltar, that The M.W. The Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, The Prince of Wales (afterwards King Edward VII) during a short stay and with the assistance of the local Craft, laid the foundation stone of the old markets with full Masonic honours. In this year also the first of our Scottish Lodges was constituted - No. 576 S.C.

St.Thomas.  In 1882 another Scottish Lodge was added to the roll when Al Moghreb al Aksa No. 670 was transferred to Gibraltar from Tangier where it had been working for two years under the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. It is said to be the first Lodge to be established in the Moslem Empire. Two years later the Grand Master Mason of Scotland under the Scottish Constitution and his patent authorised the erection of a District Grand Lodge.

The nineteenth century ended with three English Lodges, an Irish Lodge and two Scottish Lodges working very happily together.

In 1901 the Inhabitants Lodge founded another Lodge named after their illustrious Past Master W.Bro. Robert Freke Gould and the Robert Freke Gould Lodge No. 2874 has been an asset to the District ever since. Bro. Freke Gould accepted the honour of 1st. Past Master and it is known that at W.Bro. W.H. Hoare’s installation in the Chair of 2874, he received a telegram of congratulations from Bro. Freke Gould who died a few months later. In the following year, 1902, Connaught Lodge No. 2915 was constituted as a Lodge for officers, warrant officers and civil officials or relative rank in the navy or army. It was named after the Grand Master, the Duke of Connaught, who agreed to be registered as its first P.M. No. 3503 came next in 1911, deriving its name from Bro. Letchworth who was Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England for many years prior to his death in 1910.

This Lodge was founded largely by the Royal Lodge of Friendship No. 278 as a Lodge for officers in the Services. The next Lodge to be constituted was in October 1917 and this was United Services Lodge No. 3813, restricted to past and present members of the armed forces. Two months later, the Gibraltar Masters Lodge No. 3825 was constituted, restricted to installed masters, at first from the English constitution alone, but later widened to admit any installed master from a recognised Constitution. It was formed with the object "of promoting intercourse between installed masters belonging to Lodges in Gibraltar, to provide means of responsible discussion on all points relating to Masonic working, policy and conduct in the District and to assist Lodges".

From the local Craft in general to some points on Lodges in particular.

Lodge of St. John No. 115 or No. 148 as it was then, became civilian in 1826 on the departure of the 2nd Battalion. Royal Artillery, and as English was not spoken fluently by many of the citizens of Gibraltar this occasioned difficulties in working the ceremonies. Special permission was granted by Grand Lodge to conduct the business of the Lodge in Spanish, about 1831, and this privilege was traditionally maintained until withdrawn by the Grand Master in 1944. The Minutes of the Lodge are continuous from 1767 when the Lodge was founded at Perth, and volumes up to 1826 were deposited with the Grand Lodge when the Brethren departed. From 1831 in which year the Lodge was named after its illustrious predecessor No. 24, the Minutes are recorded in Spanish. The Lodge of St. John has met at Cloister Buildings, Irish Town, at Tuckey’s Lane, at Horse Barrack Lane, at Parliament Lane, at Armstrong Buildings, at Prince of Wales Recreation Club, at Beanland and Malin, Main Street, and at the Assembly Rooms. The privilege of working in Spanish was restored in 1956.

Inhabitants Lodge No. 153

The Original warrant for the Duke of Atholl himself signed this Lodge under the name of the Ordinance Lodge in 1777. For some unaccountable reason it was lost, it is not quite clear just when, but at the time of the centenary of the Lodge it was not available and a Warrant of Confirmation was applied for at the same time as the Centenary Warrant. Both these petitions were granted, and a special design of centenary jewel was authorised but the special design was cancelled in the following year in favour of the standard form of jewel. In 1885 the original Warrant was found and returned by Grand Lodge with a request for the surrender of the warrant of confirmation. It can be seen by the footnote on the SW corner of the Warrant of Confirmation that R.W. Burford Hancock, the D.G.M. at this time, recommended and Grand Lodge granted its retention on the grounds that it contained signatures of great local interest, Thus Inhabitants Lodge is probably the only Lodge with two Warrants to work under.

In 1857, this Lodge had been dormant for some years, and the arrival of the 31st Regiment of Foot was the means of setting it on its feet again. Among the junior Officers of this Regiment was Bro. Robert Freke Gould, then a young man aged 21 years - 2 years a mason -but an assiduous mason; and he managed within a year of his Regiment’s arrival to re -establish the Lodge with himself as Master and Bros. Irwin and Schreiber as Wardens. This Brother later a Barrister at Law in London, became famous among Freemasons all over the world as the author of the "History of Freemasonry", a publication in seven volumes, which has become one of the standard works on the subject and to which grateful acknowledgement is made for many of the facts given in this paper.

During the stay of the 31st Regiment in Gibraltar, a Lodge was constituted and named Meridian Lodge No. 1045, and it would be interesting to know just how much Bro. Freke Gould had to do with this new constitution. Inhabitants Lodge in favour of Bro issued an interesting Lodge Certificate. Geo. Fairfowl, on 23^rd January 1810, which describes its bearer as a "Regular geometric Master Mason of the Ancient Craft". This Lodge has met at the Crown and Anchor tavern at Glyn’s Buildings, at the Three Anchors Coffee House, at 6, Engineer Lane, at the Garrison Library, at Bell Lane, at 32, Engineer Lane and at the Assembly Rooms.

The Royal Lodge of Friendship No. 278
This Lodge was constituted as Calpean Lodge No. 556 in 1789, but it is recorded in Grand Lodge Register that it had met by dispensation since 1788. The name was changed to the Lodge of Friendship in 1815, after the original Lodge of Friendship No, 486 had been erased at the Union. A Warrant of Confirmation was issued in 1817, on the loss of the original, and a second warrant of confirmation was required in 1825 (under which it works at present), this states that the previous Warrant had "through some accident been lost or destroyed".

This Lodge was the only survivor of the Moderns, which passed into the Union Register and it provides a link of regular succession with the old Mother Lodge of 1728, also Moderns, as at the time of the lapsing of Mother Lodge many of its members joined the Calpean Lodge, as it was then called, and continued as Officers initiating new masons in succession to these in the long line from Bro. Cummerfords  No. 51. The Lodge holds the original manuscript book of 1789 byelaws with a list of members up to 1806, and it is interesting to note that they provided for a special festival meeting on the 9th September in commemoration of the "sinking of the junk ships" during the great siege. They also contained a prohibitive clause probably common to other Moderns Lodges, in respect of the false Ancients and their Provincial Grand Lodge. The Lodge always seems to have drawn its members from the English rather than the Gibraltarian residents; and colonial officials and English businessmen figure largely in the list of members. The Duke of Connaught became a member of this Lodge during his stay in Gibraltar, and he, as Grand Master granted the prefix Royal in 1903. The Lodge also possesses the minutes of the original Lodge of Friendship No. 486 (577 prior to 1781) and its manuscript byelaws and list of members from 1791 to 1815. The byelaws are similar to those of the Calpean but does not mention the "junk ships".

The clauses against the Ancients are given in full, and the Lodge consisted mostly of seafaring people or Brethren connected with the sea through business, Italians, Genoese, Sardinians, and Sicilians with a few Frenchmen, Spaniards and Portuguese, as well as a number of the local resident Jews. The bylaws are written in English and Italian for the benefit of these Brethren. The most common profession recorded is "Captain of a privateer" with "merchant" a close second. One Bro. Is described as "equilibrista" which is Spanish for tight ropewalker, while another, a French sailor, stated that his residence was "il mondo". It is interesting to note that several Spanish and Portuguese priests came to Gibraltar and were initiated in this Lodge at the time when the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal was still raising its head; and sixty-five years after the Papal Bull prohibiting masonry had been promulgated in Spain, through which many hundreds of Spanish masons had been executed without trial. Did they come as friends in sympathy, or should our Masonic forbears in the Lodge of Friendship have blackballed them as Judas's?

The Minute book of the Durham Faithful Lodge No, 446 in the 68th Regiment Light Infantry (Durham Light Infantry), from 1812 to 1818, is also held by the Royal Lodge of Friendship. This Lodge was constituted in Gibraltar in 1810 as No. 348 under the Ancients, but left in the same year, returning from 1834 to 1838. It was erased in 1844.

In closing this paper all Brethren are asked to take every opportunity of examining the old records of their Lodge, as it is a most interesting occupation particularly for Lodge Secretaries, and it impresses one with the importance of entering each and every item of importance in the Minutes, even of Lodge events which do not take place in the regular meetings of the Lodge but which could be embodied as part of the Lodge standing committee’s report. The tendency at the present time is not to include the intimate details of Lodges' existence, and one sees or hears long sequences of minutes which might be copies one of the other with the dates and the names of the candidates changed, The early minutes of the Inhabitants Lodge are full of little incidents which make interesting reading and give an excellent idea of the conditions at the time.
