Provincial Grand Lodge of Tyrone and Fermanagh.
- From about 1750, in order to strengthen discipline in the Provinces, the
Grand Master appointed personal representatives in Munster, Ulster and
Connaught, under the title "Provincial Deputy Grand Master." Their duties were
to receive the annual contributions from the Lodges in the Provinces, to hear
and determine all differences relative to the craft brought before them on
appeal and to take the speediest and most effective methods within the limits
of Masonry for redressing the grievances of the Brethren within
their district. Colonel William Irvine of Castle Irvine was elected to this
office 1776 for the Province of Ulster and continued in office prior to his
election as Grand Master of the Secessionist Grand East of Ulster in 1808.
-
- It is interesting to note that between 1733 up to the present day 58
Lodges at on time or another were working in Co. Fermanagh. At present the
number working is 12 and the total Lodges in the Province of Tyrone and
Fermanagh is 41.
