The Minute Book Of The Lodge Of Industry, Gateshead.
THE MINUTE BOOK OF THE LODGE OF INDUSTRY , GATESHEAD .
BY THE EDITOR . THE Minute Book of this old lodge has been placed iu my bauds for perusal and publication , in the general interests of Masonic Archaeology ; and I have the
greatest pleasure in submitting the following " excerpta" to the notice of the readers of the Magazine , ancl to fellow Masonic students everywhere . In a small history of the lodge , published by authority in 1870 , we find the following statement
, and with it I think well to begin the paper : — " The precise date when this lodge was founded cannot now be accurately ascertained , but there is good reason for believing that it existed as an operative lodge ,
and in proper Avorking order , about the time Avhen the Grand Lodge of England was resuscitated in 1717 . " The original home of the lodge was at the village of Swalwell , in the county of Durham , about four miles from Gateshead ;
ancl a tradition existed amongst tbe elder brethren of the lodge , that it was founded by the operative Masons brought from the South by Sir Ambrose Crowley , Avhen lie established bis celebrated foundry at \\ inlaton about A . D . 1090 . There is , hoAvever , no evidence in existence to support this theory .
" The oldest minutes of the lodge are Avritten in sheets , bound up with a copy of the Constitutions of Freemasonry , published in 1723 , edited by the celebrated Dr . J . T . Desaguliers , D . G . M ., and dedicated to his Grace the Duke of Montague , Grand Master .
" This Minute Book , with tbe Warrant and other valuable documents and property of tbe lodge were lost before the year 1770 ; but the Minute Book was fortunately recovered by Bro . John Etridge Wilkinson , who found it exhibited for sale at a book stall , purchased it , and presented
it to the lodge in 1845 . The various minutes of lodge meetings , annual appointments of "Worshi pful Master and Officers , ancl indenture of Apprentices Avere duly recorded in the old book , furnishing to the Brethren of Lodge of Industry an interesting record of Masonic History .
