"The Lord Harris Lodge of Mark Master Masons, was consecrated on 21st January 1978, by the Provincial GrandMaster of Kent Rt. W Bro. Frederick William Friday, at the Masonic Hall, Cromwell Road, Bromley Kent. During the next two years, WiBro. Frederick Burton, the original instigator of the Lord Harris Mark Lodge, contemplated the formation of a Royal Ark Mariner Lodge to be moored to the Mark. On the 28th February 1981, WBro. Freddie's dream was fulfilled, when he and seven other members of the Lord Harris Mark, together with three other Royal Ark Mariners (namely Bros. Noel Roche, John Palmer & myself) celebrated the consecration of the Lord Harris Royal Ark Mariner's Lodge. at Sidcup Masonic Hall. Rt. WBro. Guy Patrick Rudgard, who by then was the new Provincial Grand Master, following the death of Frederick Friday on 5th March 1979, conducted the consecration ceremony. WiBro.Freddie Burton, as he had with the Mark, became the founding Scribe, and considered it his job to find candidates to fill the various offices in the new Lodge, which he did with his usual enthusiasm and persuasive powers. Regrettably today, only two of the founders are still members, they being, WiBro. Walter Wightwick & my elf" 4 Founder members in the Lodge Our only two surviving founders, are still active members within the Lodge: W.Bro. Colin Ernest Pascoe G.R. Prov.R.A.M.G.R.
