Craft Freemasonry
Freemasonry, or Craft Freemasonry, is one of the oldest non-religious fraternal societies in the world. Tracing it's origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 14th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Its purpose is to encourage men to live better lives.
Holy Royal Arch
Joining the Royal Arch or 'Chapter' is the fourth and final stage in Pure Antient Masonry, as defined in the Act of Union of 1813 that created the current United Grand Lodge of England. Anyone who has been a Master Mason for four weeks is able to join and continue their voyage of discovery.
Order of Mark Master Masons
The Degree of Mark Master Mason is open to all Master Masons. The ceremony, in which a Brother is 'advanced', can be said to comprise two Degrees; the first in which he is acknowledged as a Mark Man, followed by the second where he becomes a Mark Master Mason. The Mark referred to in its title takes its name from the mark or symbol with which the stonemason identified his work and can still be found in many cathedrals and important buildings.
Royal Arc Mariners (RAM)
Royal Arc Mariner Lodges are attached, or moored, to Mark Lodges assuming their Number in the Roll and to be a member, the Candidate must have been advanced as a Mark Master Mason. There the similarity ends. In chronological terms it precedes the Mark by hundreds of years because it relates to the building and voyage of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood and has none of the other characters that we meet in Freemasonry.
Rose Croix (AASR)
All candidates for membership of the Ancient and Accepted Rite under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council for England and Wales must profess the Trinitarian Christian faith and have been a Master Mason for at least one year, or have joined a Lodge under UGLE from a recognised Grand Lodge.
Order of The Knights Templar (KT)
According to legend, the Knights Templar was founded in 1118 AD to protect pilgrims heading for Jerusalem and the Christian Holy places, where the small band of warrior monks established a headquarters. In the year 1118 AD King Baldwin II granted the Templars quarters on the Temple Mount and this forms the link to the Royal ArcArch Modern association with the Order sees the Candidate symbolically embarking on a Crusade, and s elevated to Knighthood.
Red Cross of Constantine (RCC)
Formally known as the Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Appendant Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist, this Christian Order is in two parts. The first ceremony consists of the Candidate’s admission, obligation, and then the Installation as a Knight-Companion of the Red Cross of Constantine, in which the historical basis of the Order is also detailed.
Order of the Secret Monitor (OSM)
This is a Society framed upon the principles of self sacrifice; of mutual trust, watchful Brotherly care; of warning in time of danger; solace in time of sorrow; and skillful and effective friendly advice in every circumstance of life: A Society that meets a great and crying need in human affairs and is calculated to benefit those who act up to its tenets.
Order of the Knights Templar Priest (KTP)
Membership to the Knights Templar Priests is invitational, and is not something that can be applied for. To be considered for membership, you should have shown outstanding performance as a Commander of a Commandery of the Knights Templar.
Royal and Select Masters (RSM)
The Council of the Royal and Select Masters is also known as Cryptic Masonry. The word 'crypt' is a Greek word that means ‘vault’, and it is said that the roles of Royal Masters and Select Masters revolve around the vault under the Temple of King Solomon.
Allied Masonic Degrees (AMD)

The Order has five Degrees; the Degree of St Lawrence the Martyr; the Degree of the Knights of Constantinople; the Degree of Grand Tilers of Solomon; The Red Cross of Babylon and The Holy Order of the Grand High Priest. Every Candidate must be a Mark Master Mason & Companion of The Holy Royal Arch.
