About our LodgeTyne-Castle Lodge No. 6317

Date of Warrant 5th June 1946

Consecrated 10th July 1946

The history of Tyne-Castle Lodge number 6317 is intertwined with that of Heaton Lodge no. 2723 due to the fact that Heaton Lodge members were instrumental in the foundation of several Daughter Lodges - one of which is Tyne-Castle Lodge.

In the course of history the membership of Heaton Lodge increased in such numbers that certain Past Masters thought it necessary in the interests of Freemasonry to form other Lodges.

At one time the membership of Heaton Lodge numbered over two hundred, in the case of the Lodge of Stability (consecrated 1950) the Candidates Book was closed due to an eight-year waiting list.

After the formation of St. Marks Lodge, Heaton Lodge continued to attract plenty of candidates, even during the war years of 1939-1945 it held all of the Regular Meetings and continued to admit candidates and on the 14th May 1946, WBro. W. Reah presented to the Lodge a Petition for the formation of Tyne-Castle Lodge No. 6317, which was signed by the worshipful master and wardens.

Below is a list of the Heaton Lodge Daughter Lodges:

  • Lord Collingwood No. 3246 (consecrated 1907)
  • St. Anthony’s Lodge No. 4423 (consecrated 1922)
  • Lodge of Fidelity No. 4902 (consecrated 1927)
  • St. Marks Lodge No. 5529 (consecrated 1935)
