Right Worshipful Brother David C. Purdie, the Provincial Grand Master, recently travelled up to Bideford, along with a number of brethren of the Province. The purpose of their visit was to support the brethren of the Benevolence Lodge of Mark Master Masons 1264 who were undertaking their installation ceremony.

The Worshipful Master, Worshipful Brother Robert Taylor installed his successor, Worshipful Brother David Cloke, with due reverence, who then went on to install his team of officers. The brethren retired to the refectory to enjoy the festive board and hospitality of the brethren, before the long journey home for many of them.
