Further Information
The Brethren donated the cost of a new Chapter Room in St. Thomas's which was handed over by the Provincial Grand Master to the Bishop Neville Lovett at a ceremony attended by many members of the Craft on 11th October 1927. A second ceremony took place afterwards which related to the stone stairway by which the choir entered for Divine Service, the cost of which was defrayed by members of the Thomas à Becket Lodge of Mark Master Masons, whose marks are engraved on the steps leading to the North Gallery of the Cathedral.
