LODGE HISTORY
La Mark Lodge Lord Harris 1494 fu formata nel1977 su volonta del Venerabile FratelIo FredrickBurton, che desiderava formare una loggia del marchio alla Sidcup Masonic Centre nellaprovincia del Kent. Freddie si incontrocosi con cinque altri ex Maestri Venerabili e dodici fratelliper formare la suddetta loggia.
Inizialmente fu proposto il nome di Equity Mark Lodge, data l' appartenenza di molti fratelIi allaLodge of Equity nel Craft.
Tuttavia Freddie Burton, in qualita di neo-eletto segretario fondatore, suggeri di intitolare la loggiaal Provincial Grand Master del Kent, Lord George St. Vincent Harris, 5° Barone Harris diSeringapatam e del Mysore.
Fu cosi ottenuto il permesso dalla famiglia di Lord Harris di utilizzare il suo nome e la loggia fudebitamente formata e Consacrata dal Provincial Grand Master Right Worshipful BrotherFrederick William Friday in CromwelI Road, Bromley, Kent.
L'anno successivo la loggia fu riconosciuta come Keystone Lodge per il supportoal Mark GrandLodge Building Fund per la costruzione della nuova 'Mark Masons Hall' in 86 St. James Street,London SW1. All'incontro di installazione del Gennaio 1980, la loggia fu onorata dalla visita delProvincial Grand Master Right Worshipful Brother G. P. Rudgard, il quale presento il MarkKeystone Jewel ai 21 fratelli della Lord Harris presenti.
Due anni dopo, il 28 Febbraio 1981, fu annessa a Lord Harris la loggia dei Royal Ark Mariners, ede da allora che si tiene un incontro dell' Ark prima di ogni Mark meeting, pili un incontro diinstallazione separato solo per l' Ark.
Abbiamo celebrato il nostro 25° anniversario all'incontro del Gennaio 2003 con un Silver JubileeMeeting, con la partecipazione di molti dei fratelli che presero parte alIa consacrazione.
Nel Maggio 2009 abbiamo deciso di produrre uno stendardo per la Loggia. Fino ad allora infattiveniva utilizzata un'immagine del Keystone Jewel per la documentazione ufficiale. In seguito auna ricerca sulla storia della famiglia di Lord Harris e con l' aiuto del Lord Harris Preceptory deiKnight Templars, fu trovato 10 stemma di famiglia del 5° Lord, che fu dunque incorporato nellostemma dell a loggia.
11compito di realizzare 10 stendardo fu preso in consegna dalla signora di uno dei nostri ospiti piliassidui, she aveva in passato curato stendardi di altre logge.
Lo stendardo fu infine presentato alla loggia dal Provincial Grand Master del Kent, RightWorshipful Brother Roger Henry Harley Croucher, durante un Banner Dedication Meeting,tenutosi in questa sede il18 Febbraio 2011.Lo stendardo e oggi esposto orgogliosamente all'intemo del tempio, ed e accompagnato da unostendardo simile per la nostra Ark Mariner Lodge.
