This is a symbolic work of art created as a memorial to the many masons who lost their lives in the First World War. 

The jewel was designed by Cyril Spackman, world-renowned architect, painter, printmaker, and sculptor, and awarded to those who donated to the Masonic Million Memorial Fund.

The official description of the Hall Stone design.

The jewel is in the form of a cross, symbolising Sacrifice, with a perfect square at the four ends, on the left and right, squares being the dates 1914-1918, the years in which the supreme sacrifice was made. Between these is a winged figure of Peace presenting the representation of a Temple with special Masonic allusion in the Pillars, Porch and Steps. 

The medal is suspended by the Square and Compasses, attached to a riband, the whole thus symbolising the Craft's gift of a Temple in memory of those brethren who gave all for King and Country, Peace and Victory, Liberty and Brotherhood.

Ties worn by Buckinghamshire Freemasons feature the jewel as Buckinghamshire is the only Hall Stone Province left in the World and proud to show that.  Tim Anders, Head of Freemasonry in Bucks, wears a rare and symbolic Hall Stone jewel at every meeting he attends.

IT’S COMING HOME, IT’S COMING….FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME !

Friday 30th of May 2025 will live long in the memory of Buckinghamshire Freemasonry, as the Bucks “FOOTBALL LODGE” no.10,067 was Consecrated at Wycombe Wanderers FC.

Crowds of Brothers piled through the turnstiles on a sunny May Friday morning in South Buckinghamshire to witness a very special game, a game, which in reality was the culmination of 24 months of effort run, …..infact, the “Beautiful Game” …..Our beautiful game!…..where there are no sides, a game where everyone supports the same players, a game that divides no one by age, colour creed or culture…. But a game that still desires passion, commitment and endeavour….. yet, all in the search of our common goals…..Brotherly love, relief and truth.

So it begins ….

Two hundred and twenty gathered in our own “theatre of play” to see the two years of planning finally reach fruition, with Worshipful Brother Gary Brodie being Installed as the Primus Master of the Buckinghamshire Football Lodge. The Consecrating Team led by Provincial Grand Master Tim Anders delivered on everything, not just the rare ceremony of giving life to a new Lodge, but the vibe that currently flows through us all continues to gain strength, by simply enjoying what we do, and that was reflected in the smiles throughout the day.

Football loves a cliché “the gaffa did us proud”

Fancy yourself as a bit of a player ? There is no transfer window….the door is open.
“The Crowd are on the pitch, they think it’s all over”…….it’s only just begun!
