J) S 13 32 40 72 CENTENARY OF THE TYRIAN LODGE, DERBY, No. 252. jHE Centenary Year of the " Tyrian Lodge," Derby, the oldest existing Lodge in the Province, was naturally looked forward to with interest by the rhembers, and 1^1 a Committee was appointed to make preparations to celebrate the Hundredth. Anniversary in a fitting manner. The beautiful Lodge Room at the' Masonic Hall was arranged to hold as large a company as possible, invitations were sent out to all the Lodges in the Province, and to members of Grand Lodge and Provincial Officers. A Lodge of Emergency was held April 9th, 1885, and a large gathering of Brethren occupied the Hall. Bro. Thomas Cox, the Worshipful Master for the year, P.P.S.G.W., Provincial Grand Treasurer, ^nd who had twice before occupied the chair of the Lodge, presided.- Up to a few days before the celebration, the attendance of the Provincial Grand Master, the Marquis of Hartington, had been expected ; but the special demands on his lordship's time, as head of the War Department, at a critical juncture in the affairs of Afghan istan, deprived the Brethren of his presence. His place was, however, worthily filled by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Bro. Haughton C. Okeover, of Okeover Hall, who entered the Lodge with his officers after it had been duly opened. The following Brethren were present : — OFFICERS & MEMBERS OF THE TYRIAN LODGE. Officers. Thomas Cox, James B. Coulson, Frank Campion, T. Carter Wigg, Wm. Naylor, W.M., P.G.T., P.P.S.G.W.

The Deputy Provincial Grand Master, and the Officers of Grand Lodge and of neighbouring Provincial Grand Lodges, having been duly welcomed, the following hymn was sung : — Hail, Eternal, by whose aid, All created things were made. Heaven and earth Thy vast design, Hear us, Architect Divine, It t May our work begun in Thee, Ever blest with order be, And may we, when labours cease. Part in harmony and peace. By Thy glorious majesty. By the trust we place in Thee, By the badge and mystic sign, ^ Hear us. Architect Divine. So mote it be. Bro. DoDD, P.P.G.O., accompanied on the organ, and the choir of Bro. Bickley, of Birmingham, led the singing, in which tjie brethren heartily joined. A suitable prayer was offered by the Chaplain of the Lodge, the Rev. C. T. Bromwich, who also held the office of Provincial Grand Chaplain. The Provincial Grand Secretary, Bro. W. Naylor, P.M., P.P.S.G.W., then read the Warrant from the Worshipful the Grand Master, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, authorizing the Centenary Celebration, and the issue of a Centenary Jewel. ^ t3 HISTORY OF THE LODGE. ^RO. Thomas Hall, P.M., P. Prov. J.G.W., then gave a sketch of the history of the Lodge during the past century, with special reference to the town and county. i'j]j?i He said : In the discharge of the duty allotted to me of preparing a Short Historical Account of the Lodge, I have confined myself to its records, and to such external sources of information as serve to throw light on the local events to which the history of the Lodge is naturally related. I have not at- ternpted to explore early Masonic history previous to the founding of the Lodge, but an interesting document has been brought under my notice which indicates that a Masonic Lodge existed in Derby several years before the date of the Tyrian Warrant. It is a small piece of • ancient-looking parchment, on which is plainly written : — " This is to Certify that the Bearer Hereof William Sparkes is "a Regular Registered Mason in our Lodge, No. 104, held at the "Royal Oak Inn, in Derby, and' has Behaved Himself as be6Qmes a " Worthy Brother of this Lodge. "Given under our Hands and the Seal of the said Lodge this "6th day of May in the year of our Lord, God, 1766, and in the "year of Masonry, 5,766. "SAMEL. BROWN, "I Master." "RICHD. RUTLAND, I Sen. Warded" "HENRY PRATT, j Jun. Warden. '' "Secty. THOMAS GREASLEY." 13 This interesting record is in the possession of Bro. John Smith, P.M., P.P.S.G.W., an alderman and magistrate of this borough, and came frofti the possession of a Mr. Sparkes, who died some twenty or thirty years ago, at an advanced age. It may be presumed that the Bro. William Sparkes referred to in the cer- tificate was the father of the Mr. Sparkes who left the document at his death. The seal has been rendered illegible by folding. The replies to enquiries I have addressed to the Secretary of Grand Lodge confirm the genuineness of this early record of Derby Masonry. A Lodge, originally No. 104, was constituted September 14th, 1732, fifty-three years before the Tyrian Lodge, and was first held at The Virgins Inn, Derby, and afterwards at the Royal Oak, in the Market Place. The latter still remains on the same site. The Virgins Inn was purchased in 1763 by Mr. William Cox, of Brailsford, grandfather of the present Mr. William Cox, of that place. It was re-built, and a wine and spirit business was established and continued there by the family, with their partner, Mr. Charles Bowring, J.P., to 1876, when it was re- moved to the Iron-gate. At the same place Mr. William Cox commenced the business of a cheese, wool, and seed factor. The Cox family were connected with a cheese factory at Derby until the death of the late Mr. SI Walker Cox. This first Derby Lodge changed its number by the lapse of other Lodges to 92, then to 54, and finally to 45, and was in its turn erased by Grand Lodge in 1777, eleven years after the date of the Certificate just quoted, for not conforming to the laws. This was eight years before the foundation of the Tyrian Lodge. The records of Grand Lodge attest the foundation of a Lodge known as -the " Atholls," No. 165, at the Ship, Long Lane Borough, April i8th, 1770, fifteen years before the Tyrian was founded, and seven ~years before the Lodge at the Roy^l Oak, Derby, collapsed. It was re-constituted November 2nd, 1810, at Buxton, as the "Derbyshire Lodge," and became No. 122 in 1863, but three years later its name was erased by Grand Lodge. It was held at the King's Arms, Buxton. Two years after its final dissolution, the Phcenix Lodge of, St. Anne was H founded, and its title expresses the fact that it rose from the ashes of its ancient predecessor. The present Lodge has some jugs bearing Masonic emblems with the number " 165," and part of the furniture is said to have belonged to the former Lodge. The Warrant which authorized the foundation of the Tyrian Lodge a hundred years ago, was issued in the name of the. Grand Master, His Royal Highness Frederick Duke of Cumberland, brother of George IH. This Prince was born in 1745, the year in which Charles Edward led to Derby the Scotch army, which it was fondly hoped would have replaced the Stuart dynasty off the throne of Great Britain, a hope which was rudely dissipated a few months afterwards at the battle of Culloden, where another Duke of Cumberland, William,' uncle of the Grand Master, defeated and almost annihilated Prince Charles's force. The victor in this final overthrow of the Stuarts is commemorated by "The Duke William" Inn, close to the church, at Matlock Town, and which bears the date 1754— eight years after Culloden was fought. The Duke of Gloucester was initiated with his brother the Duke of Cumberland, in 1767, two years after an older brother, the Duke of York, had been made a Mason in Berlin. The father of these Princes, Frederick, Prince of Wales, who died before his father, George H., was initiated as a Mason at Kew, in 1737, by Dr. Desaguliers, who, driven from France on account of his Protestantism, becatae distinguished by his scien- tific attainments, and was one of the leading founders of Modern Freemasonry in 1 7 17. Frederick, Prince of Wales, was not the first scion of a royal house who entered the Craft. Francis, Duke of Lorraine, after- wards Emperor of Germany, husband of Marie Theresa, and father of Marie Antoinette, whose beauty and whose cruel fate inspired the glowing eloquence of Burke, was initiated at the Hague as early as 1731. Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, was elected' Grand Master in 1782, three years before the Warrant of this Lodge was granted. The Earl of Effingham was appointed acting Grand Master, and his signature, appears on our Warrant. 15^ Two years after the Tyrian Lodge was establisWed, the Prince of Wales, afterwards 'George IV., and his brother, the Duke of "i'ork, were initiated. Their brothers, the Duke of Kent, father of Her Gracious Majesty, our present Queen, and the Duke of Sussex, afterwards Grand Master, had ^een received, into the Craft shortly before on lhe_Continent, and on the death of their uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, in 1790, George, Prince of W^les, was elected Grand Master. He was not installed until two years later, and shortly after that event, in January, 1793, the Tyrian Lodge voted an Address to His Royal Highness expressing the loyalty and attachment of the Lodge to his .person, his family, and the Constitution. The motive of this'loyal Address is to be found in the events then taking place in France. In the previous August the King and Queen had been imprisoned in the Temple, whence Louis, was taken to the scaffold, eleven days after the date of the Tyrian Address. The massacres of the previous September revolted the world, and led the liberal and kindly Romilly to say that a free Government amongst such monsters as then ruled, was as hopeful as a Republic of tigers in an African forest. The Grand Lodge presented a loyal Address to King George III. through the Prince, their Grand Master, in the same year, 1793; and it is not to be wondered at, with such loyal connecticins and such loyal conduct, that Freemasonry should in 1799 have been specially exempted from the operation of an Act against secret societies. The Tyrian Lodge gave further proofs of loyalty. In 1798, an Address protesting against revolutionary and treasonable practices was adopted, and contributions raised in aid of the Government " in the alarming crisis." The Earl of Moira, as Acting Grand Master, had done much to extend the Craft and, to unite English with Scotch and Irish Masonry, and on his acceptance of the office of Governor-General of India, in 181 3, the year when a long standing schism in English Masonry was healed, the Tyrian Lodge sent to. London ;^42 5s. od. towards the purchase of a Jewel for this distinguished Statesman and Mason. For his eminent services in India Lord Moira was created Marquis of Hastings. His maternal grandmother was the well-known Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, the contemporary of Wesley and Whit- field, and herself the liberal and devoted founder of a religious denomination. From her, through his mother, Lord Moira in- herited the baronies of Hastings, Hungerford, &c. The title of Marquis, first conferred upon him, became extinct by the death, without issue, of his two grandsons, the' 3'ounger of whom, Henry, 4th Marquis, died in 1868. His sister succeeded to' the title of Countess of Loudoun, which she inherited from her grandfather, and at her death, in 1874, the Scotch title devolved on her son the present Earl of Loudoun, her husband being created fearoji Donington, of Donington Park. The Jewel to which the Tyrian Lodge contributed was valued at from three to four thousand poupds. I regret to say that it no longer exists. It was, I understand, given into the possession of the last Marquis by the trustees as an heirloom. On his death, without issue, it was claimed by his sister, who succeeded him as Countess of Loudoun, but it was then found that the stones had been taken out and re-set in various ornaments, and their identity hopelessly lost. Thus a lady added to her store of personal adornments, and an artistic expression by our Order of the merits of a gallant soldier, a distinguished statesman, and a devoted Mason, has become only a memory and a record. In 18 15 ;^8o was contributed by the Lodge towards the relief of the families of the soldiers who fell at Waterloo; and five years later the death of the Duke of Kent, father of our reign- ing Sovereign, was made the occasion of holding a Lodge of. Emergency, when an oration was delivered by the Chaplain,' the Rev. C. S. Hope. The tTraft had, before the foundation of the Tyrian Lodge, extended to every part of the British Isles, to all the principal Countries of Europe, to the United States, and to India. The Tyrian Lodge, three- years after its consecration, was No. 468 on the Roll of Grand Lodge, but by the dissolution of older Lodges it now ranks at 253. At the time of its foundation the town did not contain more than a tenth of its present population. It had. ^7 however, become the seat of manufactures, which gave promise of future growth. The Silk Trade was introduced by Lombe about 17 17, The first William Duesbury had, established the celebrated Derby China Works about 30 years- before the consecration of the Tyrian Lodge, and only a year before that event, in 1784, x^he finally closed the well known works at Chelsea, which he had purchased several years earlier, and transferred the models and workmen to Derby. The Derby China Works were famous, and had been visited by Dr. Johnson and Boswell seven years before the Tyrian Lodge was founded. 'The first William Duesbury died in 1786, when his son, also William, succeeded him. He had been initiated a member of the Tyrian Lodge in the first year of its existence, which was, by the way, the year before his marriage. His grandson,, Henry Duesbury, architect, who de- signed the present Derby Town Hall, was admitted in r852. In 1825, William Corden, described as an artist, was initiated. He was apprenticed at the Derby China Works, and for about five years before he entered the Craft, had practiced with success as a portrait painter. The Cotton Manufacture was established in this county by Sir Richard Arkwright and Jedediah Stfutt, the latter the son of a small farmer at South Normanton, near Alfreton. He married the sister of William WoUatt, a framework-hosier, at Firuiern, near Derby, and from this circumstance he was led to turn his attention to the improvement of the stocking frame. He invented the apparatus by which the celebrated Derby rib- stocking was produced, and took out patents for it. in 1758 and J 759, which caused his removal to Derby, where, and at Not- tingham, he, his brother-in-law, and Samuel Need of the latter place, worked the patent with success. Richard Arkwright took out his patent for spinning yarn by the use of rollers in 1769 — the year in which .Watt secured a patent for his steam engine. In his patent the whilom Preston barber is described as "Richard Arkwright, of Nottingham, clockmaker." His removal to that place had been prompted by fear of the Lancashire mobs, which threatened all improved machinery, and it brought him i8 into contact with Strutt and Need, the hosiers, who in 1771 entered into partnership with him and found papital for the working of the patent. The first really complete cotton mill in England was etected at Cromford in 177 1, that at Belper in 1776, and a third at Milford shortly afterwards. The partnership was dissolved in 1781, Arkwright taking the Cromford, and Strutt the Belper and Milford mills. The latter afterwards erected a factory at Derby for weaving calico, near the present Market Hall, and was the first to produce the woven fabric with cotton yarn alone, linen warps having been previously' used. This calico factory was pulled down a few years ago. Jedediah Strutt died at Exeter House, Derby, in 1797, leaving three sons — William, George, and Joseph — all of whom actively engaged in the great business which had grown up,. The youngest of these, Joseph, was admitted a member of the Tyrian Lodge in the first year of its history. Jedediah Strutt, son of George and grandson of the first Jedediah, and George Henry Strutt, known as Henry Strutt, his brother, were received into the Lodge in 1 8 10. The former was the father of the present Mr. George Henry Strutt, of Bridge Hill, and both were cousins of the late Lord Belper. Darley Cotton Mills were established by Mr. Thomas Evans — great-grandfather of the present Member for South Derbyshire and of- Brother Colonel John Evans — in partnership with Arkwright, in 1783 ; and in 1802, Moses Harvey, of Darley, described as " Cotton Spinner," and who was for many years manager of those mills, was initiated. The growth of the cotton manufacture is also associated with the history of the Lodge, by the fact that " Michael Bott, Esq., of Tutbury, cotton spinner," was initiated in 1790. The connection of the Lodge with the industrial development of the town is further illustrated by the initiation, in 1794, of John Whitehurst, sen., described as " Clockmaker." He was the nephew and successor of the celebrated John Whitehurst, who died some half-a-dozen years before. He founded impor- tant Clock Works at Derby, and is, described by Hutton, who \Yrote the History of Derby in 1791, as "a great philospher, ^9 mechanic, and worthy man." Though long dead, he still speaks in the dulcet chimes he placed in All Saints' tower. It is worthy of note that WhitehurSt, like the first Jedediah Strutt, was the son of a yeoman, who farmed his own small ancestral property near Congleton, where the family are said to have lived on a small estate for more than seven hundred years. The first and distinguished John Whitehurst came to Derby in 1735, at the age of 25 years. As he was not a burgess, he was not allowed — under the restrictions which prevailed in those days — to com- mence business as a Clockmaker in Derby. " He, therefore," says our local historian, Hutton, "in 1737, made a clock for the Guildhall, as the purchase of his freedom ; Which in telling truth still (1791) praises its maker.'' This clock, I think, perished in the fire which destroyed that Town Hall in 184 1. It is worthy of note, that just twenty years after Whitehurst thus purchased his right to employ his, skill in Derby, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, was prevented from starting in business as a mathematical instrument maker in the city of Glasgow for a sinjilar reason. His friend, Adam Smith, the author of " The; Wealth of Nations," induced the authorities of the University of that city to allow him, as mathematical instrument maker to the University, to occupy a shop in its precincts which was exempt from the jurisdiction of the City Corporationr Watt availed him? self of this privilege until he obtained the freedom of Glasgow by surrendering his own as a bachelor, a burgess's daughter giving him with her hand admission to the Guild. Whitehurst wrote several learned books : " An Enquiry into the Original State and. Formation of the Earth" was pubUshed in 1778. Tt had an Appendix " On the Strata of Derbyshire, with Sections of them," given " as a specimen of subterranean geography" which we now term the science of geology. The book shows how earnest, careful, and intelligent an observer and student of nature White- hurst was, and how far he discerned the influences which have determined and modified the strata of the earth's crust. He was a member of the Royal Society and of several other Philsophical Societies. In 1774 he was appointed Stamper of Weights for 20 regulating the gold coin. He only survived his removal to London for three years, and Hutton mentions that "he died in Bolt Court, in the very house where died a few years ago (1776) that great self-taught philosopher, James Ferguson, and in the same cou"rt where died (1784) that great master of letters, Dr. (Samuel) Johnson.'' I may remind you that Dr. Johnson was married, at Derby, to Mrs. Porter, July 9th, 1736 (O.S.); she dying, to his great sorrow, in 1752. The high estimate entertained of Whitehurst's abilities is shown by the list of subscribers to the book above alluded to. It in- cludes not only many of the most distinguished of the nobility, but a considerable number of eminent men and of leading public libraries. As illustrations, I may name Josiah Wedgwood, the potter, Dr. Priestley, Dr. Price, the Speaker of the House of Commons ; Dr. Thomas Denman, of Bakewell, father of the Lord Chief Justice ; Mrs. Delany, Swift's and Handel's friend ; Dr. Erasmus Darwin; Matthew Boulton, of Soho, the partner of Watt ; Sir George Beaumont; Mr. (afterwards Sir) Joseph Banks, F.R.S., the scientific associate of Cook in his voyage round the world; several Cavendishes, Lord and Lady Scarsdale, &c. Whitehurst's own copy of the book, with his emendations in manuscript,^ is now in the possession of Mr. John Smith, clockmaker, &c., of Queen Street and the Market Place. Mr. Smith was apprenticed to his successors in the business he founded, and was one of the bearers at the funeral oT the second John Whitehurst, the member of- this Lodge, who was buried in a vault in All Saints' Church. Mr. Smith, a few years ago, was employed to improve the chimes of the clock placed in All Saints' Church by the first Whitehurst. The quarters are now marked by a musical arrangement of strokes on the ten bells. Whitehurst invented many valuable improvements in clockwork, hydraulic apparatus, &c. Hutton describes him as " near six feet high, straight, thin, and (what was unusual with respectable people in those wig-wearing days) he wore his own dark grey bushy hair, was plain in his dress, and had much the appearance of a respectable farmer." Wright, of Derby, painted Whitehurst's portrait, which is now iii the possession of Mr. William Bemrose. A good engraving appeai^s at the end of the first volume of " Glover's History of Derbyshire." , It may be noted that Mr. John Smith above alluded to lives in the house occupied by Wright, the painter, and which it is said was built by John Flamstead, the distinguished mathematician, who was Astronomer Royal in the reigns of Anne and George I. The third John Whitehurst died unmarried in 1855, and the property fell to his brother Howard, a distinguished Queen's , Counsel, who defended the Derby rioters in 1832. The growth of taste indicated by the erection of the chimes in All Saints' Tower, in 1745, the year of Prince Charles's short stay in Derby, was further manifested by the erection, in 1774, of what are still often termed the New Assembly Rooms, in the Market Place, where our Provincial Grand Lodge was held for many years. A year earlier the Theatre was built in Bold Lane, and many distinguished actors trod the boards in that place, now devoted to a very different purpose. May I be excused remind- ing you that in 1788, three years after the constitution of the Tyrian Lodge, the Centenary of the "Glorious Revolution" was celebrated in Derby. The roasting and free distribution of the flesh of an ox an4 ten sheep in the Market Place was preceded by a service at All Saints' Church, when, no doubt, very different sentiments were uttered from those which the celebrated Dr. Henry Sacheverell had fulminated there in 1709, when he dis- turbed the Parliament and Ministers of Queen Anne by his violent denunciations of the principles established by the acces- -sion of William the Third, and set the kingdom aflame by his annunciation of autocratic ideas in phurch and State, for which he was impeached. Sir Thomas Parker — the silver-tongued counsel, previously Recorder of Derby and in two Parliaments its Member — conducted the case for the House of Commons. 'He became Lord Chief Justice and Baron, and then Viscount Parker, afterwards Lord Chancellor and Earl of Macclesfield j but sullied a brilliant career by accepting bribes, -for which he was heavily fined and cast down from high place and royal favour; The mild sentence inflicted on Sacheverell was regarded as a triumph by his followers, who celebrated the event by bonfires in Derby, where for a good many years sympathy with the Stuarts lingered. There is one distinguished inhabitant of Derby in the last century whose name I expected to have found in the roll of the Tyriah Lodge. Dr. Erasmus Darwin, Physician, Philosopher, and Poet, was just the man to enter the Craft, especially in the earlier days of modem Freemasonry. His breadth of sympathy, his openness of mind, his freedom from the trammels of prejudice and tradition, make him a distinctive figure in_an era in which science had become a passion, and mechanical progress achieved such remarkable triumphs. Many of us witnessed how admirably his grandson, Bro. Reginald Darwin, installed my immediate predecessor in the chair of this Lodge — Bro. Marsden. But I do not find in our long roll the name of the author of " Zoonomia," "The Botanic Garden," and " Phytologia,"- the friend of Edge- worth — father of the lady, who wrote the books for children, which Hood describes as "The true golden lore of the golden age" — of the eccentric author of "Sandford and Merton,'' of Benjamin Franklin, Josiah Wedgwood,'/Of Boulton and Watt, of Wright, the painter — who has left us his manly face — of the scientific Priestley, and the sweet, devout, and melancholy Cowper, of Mrs. Delany, and nearly all the famous people of that day. Dr. Erasmus Darwin came to Derby on his fnarriage with Mrs. Pole, of Radbourne, in 1781. He founded the Derby Philosophical Society in 1788, and here and at Breadsall Priory he wrote those wonderful books in which he shadowed forth ideas, the full development of which by his grandson,^ the late Charles Darwin, forms an epoch in biological science. But he was a Mason after all. I leam, on enquiry, that he was a member of the " Cannon- gate Kilwinning Lodge, No. 2, of Scotland," which claimed great antiquity. In this Lodge his son, the late Sir Francis Darwin, of Breadsall Priory, entered the Craft about 1807 or 1808, and Bro. Reginald Darwin joined it in 1840. Thus we see that this 23 distinguished resident of Derby, though not a member of our Lodge, was a Freemason, and that his connectioh with the Order has continued to the third generation. The above allusions to the connection of the Lodge with the development of -local manufactures suggest some general refer- ence to its Roll of Members. John Hollis Pigot, a physician, headed the application for the Warrant, and was Master for. six years after its foundation. Henry Browne, who is despribed as an "Esquire," at a time, when that title marked a real social distinction, and as a " Chymist," who had been initiated at an early meeting of the Lodge, was appointed' Acting W. Master in the last year of Dr. Pigot's Mastership, and then held the office himself for three years. Daniel Parker Coke, Esq., M.P., and Barrister-at-law, was initiated in 1787, and was elected W.M. in 1794 and again in 1796. He sat for Derby with the Lord Frederick Cavendish of that time, a few years before he entered the Lodge. Henry Browne was Acting-Master in those and other years, notably in 18 13 and 18 14, when William Spencer, 6th Duke of Devonshire, whose portrait adorns the Derby Town Hall, occupied the chair of the Lodge. His Grace had been initiated in 1809. The chair now used by the I.P.M. was his gift, and he also presented his banner to the Lodge. He was Grand Master of this Province from 1814 to 1858, and was succeeded in the title and estate by the present Duke, and as Provincial Grand Master by the heir to the Dukedom, the Marquis of Hartingfon, now Secretary for War, whose absence to-day, on account of grave events in our relations with Russia, we all deplore. The Bro. Henry Browne, to whom recourse was so , often had in the government of the Lodge, must have been a very zealous and able Mason, as from 1785 to 1817 he was eight times elected Master, ajid was," during seven years, Acting-Master, . when the chief office was held by brethren of high social position. I am indebted to Mr. Monkhouse, who carries on the business which has been continued from that time, for an account of this early and devoted member of our Lodge. He carried on the business 24 of a chemist in the premises which stood — before the rebuilding of thej eastern side of Iron-gate — upon the site now occupied by the shop - of Mr. F. Carter, bookseller, opposite Cromp- ton and Evans' Union Bank. He was born about the fear 1760, and succeeded to the business about 1785 or 1786. He was Mayor of Derby in 1799 and again in 1808, and died November i8th, 1831, aged 71. He was buried in All Saints' Church, about half-way up the south aisle, where an oval brass plate in the floor records his name and the date of his death. He was a descendant of the Brownes of Hungry Bentley, in the county of Derby, who claim to be descended from Sir Anthony Browne, Knt., who lived in the reign of Edward IV. In 1810, Viscount Tamworth, eldest son of the 7th Earl Ferrers, and who resided at DuiEeld, was received into the Lodge; and two months later, Nathaniel, 2nd Lord Scarsdale, his father-in-law, was initiated. The father of this Lord Scarsdale built Kedleston Hall, as a mural tablet on the south front of the _ building states — " Amicis et sibi" — for his friends and himself. The Hon. Augustus and the Hon. Edward Curzon, of Kedleston, became members in 181-5 ; and the Hon. Francis Curzon, of Kedleston, joined in 1825, and was elected W.M. in 1826. Earl Howe was initiated in 1815;, the Hon. Augustus Stanhope, son of the 3rd Earl of Harrington, in i8r5 j and Earl Ferrers in 1858. In 1791 Charles Sedley Burdett, Esq., of Foremark, second son of the 4th Bart., was initiated. He was drowned three years afterwards at the falls of Schaffhausen. Of other members I may name three Poles of Radbourne — one, a clergyman, was the second member initiated — and two of the Heathcotes, belonging to an old Derbyshire family, formerly of Littleover, were admitted at the first meeting.* The father and * This family succeeded, by a heiress, the Harpurs of Littleover. One of the two who were initiated in 1785, was Bathe Heathcote, Esq., of Littleover, and as this pamphlet is passing through the Press a notice appears, in the Derbyshire Advertiser of the death, December 6th, 1885, at Jialeigh, Bideford, Devon, where he had latterly resided, of Cockshutt Heathcote, Esq., of Littleover, J. P. and D.L. for the county of Derby, at the advanced age of 92. 25 grandfather of the present Sir Henry Wilmot were members, and one of the oldest initiates, " Jno. Harrison, Surgeon," died two years after the Lodge was founded, and was the subject of a special and most eulogstic notice in the Derby Mercury of October 17th, 1787, which described his being buried with Masonic honours, Arch Masons and Knights Templars forming part of, the procession. This notice describes him as '" an emi- nent surgeon, of great judgment in his profession, had a lively and quick . genius, was a most cheerful and convivial companion, and to serve his friend he was zealous and indefatigable. He lately received public thanks in this paper for the active part he took in that great improvement as well as ornament to the town, the rebuilding of Sadler Ga:te bridge." Philip Gell, Esq., D.C.L., of Hopton, was initiated in 1827, and was made Deputy Pro- vincial Grand Master in 1836. John Nicholas Gell, Esq., was initiated in the same year, and also W. Pole-Thornhill, Esq., of Stanton. Amongst other well-known names are those of the present Sir Henry AUsopp and the late Mr. Michael Bass, two . members qf the old Bainbrigge family, and last, but by no means least, C. R. Colvile, Esq., formerly M.P. for South Derbyshire, and Deputy Provincial Grand Master from 1844, for many years, and whom we should Ijave been delighted to have seen amongst us to-day. It may give some indication of the character of the members ■ of the Tyrian Lodge, to state that the total of 622 during the century included 40 members of the medical professiorl, 33 bar- risters or solicitors, and 29 clergymen. In 1793, eight years after the establishment of the Tyrian Lodge, the Scarsdale Lodge was consecrated at Chesterfield as No. 519, and in 1832 it had become No. 369. It continued until 1838, when it was erased from the Roll of Grand Lodge. Nearly twenty years afterwards, ' in 1856, the title was restored by the He was the eldest son of Bache Heathcote, Esq., of Littleover, and his birth, in 1793, was eight years after his father was initiated. He leaves a son, Lieut.-Col. Bache Harpur Heathcote, born 1829. 26 present Scarsdale Lodge. With this exception, and that of the "AthoUs" Lodge noticed above, the Tyrian was the only Lodge in Derbyshire for 32 years. The Royal Sussex was consecrated in 181 7, and ;jo other until 1844, when the Mundy Grove was established at Shipley Gate. There are now in the Province 20 Craft Lodges, 6 Chapters pf the Royal Arch, 3 Mark Mason Lodges, and a Chapter of the Rose Croix. I spare you a narrative of the migrations of the Lodge Irom hostel to hostel, from its first home at the " Bunch of Grapes," in the Market Place, until ten years ago it found an abiding place in this handsome Hall of which we are all proud, and for which we are grateful to those Brethren to whose perseverance and liberality its erection was due, and particularly to the Senior Warden of the Province last year, Bro. John Smith, whose name must always be associated with this material evidence of Derby- shire Masonry. Yet, after all, this is but the material and perishable home of the Craft. The true Temple of Masonry is built up of livings stones,, moulded on the principle of rectitude, united by the cement of mutual trust and fraternal regard, and whose ornaments are the graces of cultivated intelligence and of active benevolence. This is a Temple which is ever renewed, and which we trust may never decay ; and this brief retrospect of a Century of Masonic History may well inspire with more fervid hopefulness the suppli- cation that the Great Architect of the Universe " may continue to preserve our Order, by beautifying and adorning us with every moral and social virtue." mm 27 ^RO. WooDALL, Grand Treasurer Elect, then delivered' a short address, in the course of which he reviewed the vast progress made by Freemasonry during the past L'^i century. Socially, intellectually, and in every sense the , Craft had made extraordinary strides. The opposition to which the Order had been subjected was due to ignorance, but let it be their duty to answer the baseless charges of their critics by deeds of charity and love, and thus show to the world that the aspersions cast upon them had their origin solely in the prejudices of their detractors. The following hymn was then sung : — Maker and Father of us all, Look from Thy glorious Throne above," Vouchsafe to bless our Festival; And crown our Lodge with light and love. Built on the firm Foundation Stone Of Truth, Relief, and Charity, Our Trust we put in Thee alone. For sure support we find in Thee. A hundred years have rolled away Since our Foundation Stone was laid. We come with thankful songs to-day. To bless Thee, Father for Thine aid. 28 Each Brother with Thy gifts endue, Let peace and love rule every heart, Preserve us steadfast, kind, and true, Thy heavenly grace to all impart And when death's darksome vale is nigh, O help us by Thy strength divine To reach the Eternal Lodge on high, And there as stars for ever shine. So mote it be. A Mural Tablet, erected to commemorate the Centenary of the Lodge (a representation of which appears as the frontispiece), was then unveiled, and the Chaplain read a portion of the Volume of the Sacred Law. The Provincial Grand Secretary, Bro. W. Navlor, then read the Warrant authorizing the Celebration of the Centenary and the Wearirig of a Centenary Jewel, granted by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, -after which the Acting Provincial Grand Master distributed the Cen- tenary Jewels. Bro. Okeover also presented, on behalf of the Brethren of the Lodge, a Centenary Jewel and an elegant Past Master's Jewel to Bro. Thomas Cox, W.M., who siiitably ack- nowledged the gift. The Provincial Grand Master, Bro. Okeover, then addressed the Brethren, remarking that he had hoped the Marquis of Hartington would have been present, and he regretted his absence sincerely. This was a gathering in which he felt the utmost pleasure. The interest of it would never be effaced from his memory. But, interesting as the occasion was, he could not but feel that it suggested many grave thoughts to their minds. There was some- thing solemn in the lapse of a hundred years. It led them to think of all the different phases and experiences this Lodge had gone through, and of the many eminent members it had been in- strumental in introducing to the Craft These men had included ' representatives of all classes of society, and it was evident that they worked hard, in less favourable times than those in- which 29 we now found ourselves, to promote the honour and ,usefulness of the Craft. The interesting record they had listened to could not fail to make them ponder over the work done by those who had gone before them, the zeal and fidelity they had shown, and the useful lives they had led. Then the contemplation of the past led them, as Masons, to think of the future, and of the responsibilities which rested upon them. The D.P.G. Master, in solemn terms, exhorted his brethren to cherish the conviction that in the discharge of their duties as citizens and as ^ Masons their best and surest guide was the Great Architect of the Universe. An eloquent oration on the nature and principles of the Order was delivered by Bro. the Rev. E. A. Hillyard, P.P.G.C, which was specially directed to the recent Papal Allocution against Freemasonry. The following hymn was then sung :^— Great Architect of earth and heaven. By time nor space confined. Enlarge our love to comprehend Our " Brethren," all mankind. Where'er we are, whate'er we do, Thy presence let us own ; Thine eye, all-seeing, marks our deeds, To Thee all thoughts are known. While Nature's works and Wisdom's laws We labour to reveal, O be our duty done to Thee With fervency and zeal. With Faith our guide, and humble Hope, Warm Charity and Love, May all at last be raised to share Tky perfect Light above. So mote it be. I During the singing of the hymn a collection was made on behalf of the Masonic Charities, after which the Lodge was closed. 30 Later in the afternoon the Brethren partook of a Grand Banquet at the Midland Hotel, the dining-room and approaches .being elegantly decorated with plants and flowers. The W, Master, Bro. Cox, presided, and there was a large and influential gathering of Masons, including most of those whose names are given in the preceding pages.

WARRANT of Constitution, dated 26th March, 1785, and granted at the request of John Mollis Pigot, M.D., W.M. Erasmus Stevens, S.W. Thomas Smith, J.W. Rowland Park, And several others.

The Lodge was opened at the Bunch of Grapes in the Market Place. 1788. — The Lodge removed to the George Inn. i']()'^.— January 10. — An Address was adopted to His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales, Grand Master, ex- pressive of the loyalty and attachment of the Lodge to H.R. Highness, his family, and the Constitution of the Kingdom. In December, 1792, Paine, author of "The Rights of Man," was convicted of libel during his absence in France, where he 33 was a member of the National Convention, which, January 15th, 1793. condemned Louis XVI. to death. In December, 1792, Burke made his celebrated "dagger speech" in the House of Commons. Paine, while in France, saved the life of a lady — one one of the Wilmots, of Chaddesden — who had been seized as an aristocrat, in Paris, declaring that he would answer for " Citizeness Wilmot." Her portrait is at Chaddesden Hall. 1798. — Resolution adopted against revolutionary and treasonable practices,- and in favour of a Masonic contribution in aid of the Government " in the present alarming crisis," which was ordered to be sent to the Bank of England, ' with an Address, afterwards directed to be pubhshed in the Derby Mercury, and twenty-two years later was framed and glazed. The amount contributed was ^^25 4s. The Irish rebellion, headed by Lord William Fitzgerald, broke out in the spring of this year. In a period of Irish excitement in O'Connell's days, amongst other inflammatory poetry, was a stirring piece which began — ' ' Who fears to speak of nighty-eight ? Who blushes at the name ? Let coward loons, who mock the dead, Go hang their Tieads for shame." , 1800. — A Print representing the escape of His Majesty King George III. from the attack of the assassin, James Hadfield, was ordered. 1813. — Subscriptions to the amount of jQ/^2 ss. were taken to London by Bros. Henry Browne, Charles Eaton, and John Storer, towards purchasing a Jewel for presentation at a complimentary dinner to the Acting G.M., the Earl of Moira, on his leaving England.

He succeeded to the dukedom in 181 1, and dying, unmarried, in 1858, was succeeded by his cousin. 34 the Earl of Burlington, the present Duke. The 6th Duke was a nobleman of magnificent tastes, and spent immense sums on the improvement of Chatsworth, where he entertained the Princess Victoria, the present Queen, on a splendid scale in 1839. 1820. — February 13. — A Lodge of Emergency called to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, father of _Her Majesty Queen Victoria, who was buried the day before. An oration was delivered by the Chaplain, the Rev. C. S. Hope. The Duke of Kent took an important part in the union of the English and Scotch Orders of Masonry. The Earl of Moira, afterwards Governor General of India, and created Marquis of Hastings, had earnestly devoted himself to , promote this union. ^ In l8o6 he visited the Scotch Grand Lodge, at Edinburgh, which was under the protection of the Duke of AthoU, head of the fo- called "Ancient Masons." They then chose the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV.), G.M. of England, as their Grand Master. H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex was appointed G.M. in 1811, when his brother, the Prmce of Wale's, became Regent. He set himself to close the breach in Masonry. The Duke of AthoU resigned bis position as head of the "Ancient Masons,'' and on his recom- mendation the Duke of Kent was appointed in his ' place, and the two brothers concerted a union which was finally completed in 1813, the Duke of Kent resigning his position, and his, brother, the Duke of Sussex, being elected Master of the United Grand Lodge. 1823. — The, George Inn being shut up, the Lodge removed to the New Inn in January, but returned to the George Inn in June. 1824. — June 18. — Lodge of Emergency held to pay a tribute of i respect to the memory of the late Viscount Tamworth, P.G.M., when an oration was delivered by the Chaplain, Bro. the Rev.
