from 1752 , and is the second oldest Lodge in the province of Staffordshire ; the next in rank dating only from 1815 . We do not believe that the R . \ V . Bro . Col . Vernon can afford to lose this Lodge , aud we call his attention to it . Those who labour for its resuscitation will get a ready reward , for in three years it will earn its centenary medal ; and no other Lodge in Staffordshire is likely to do this within the time
of a Mason now living there . " No . 3 ( 56 . Lodge School of Plato , Cambridge . Last return , December , 1853 . " This , too , must be looked after . It dates from 1793 , and is one of the only three Lodges which the E . W . Bro , T . H . Hall has in his province .
None of the other condemned Lodges are Lodges of any antiquity , but they are all of local importance , and should be preserved by certain of the provincial authorities , as is readily to be done . We may observe as ominous , that no less than two Sussex Lodges are doomed , as , besides the Arundel Lodge , one at Littlehampton is in the condemned Lodge .
