Last November the Hawke’s Bay Research Lodge No 305 was presented with an interesting explanation and display of the various orders of Freemasonry and the regalia used by each.
The orator, V W Bro Ken Edney, PGLec, did not use prepared notes but gave a full ad lib discourse on each order as the regalia was worn and displayed by his co- presenters.
As editor of the lodge’s transactions and not having any written notes to use, I did some research into the origins of some of the main orders that were presented and came across what I consider to be two interesting Freemasons who were both Chevaliers (or Knights) in the eighteenth century.
So with your indulgence I shall digress from the orders themselves into the lives of these two brethren.
