Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Freemasonry in Sussex: A History of the Howard Lodge of Brotherly Love, No; 56, Arundel, A. D. 1736 1878
The original intention of the Compiler of this Memoir was to embrace only the History of the Lodge of Brotherly Love, with a short paper, by way of an appendix, on the Lodges, past and present, in the Province of Sussex; but as time went on much interesting matter came to hand, and I have therefore considered it best to place that part of it which will be most acceptable to the brethren in the Province first, and leave the History of my Lodge to fill a subordinate place. The early records of that Lodge having been lost, as is the case with the majority of old Lodges, I must plead want of material for not being able to give more of the early history of its proceedings, a review of which would doubtless have thrown some light on the working of a Lodge throughout the greater part of the last century, as it was constituted only nineteen years after the birth, in A.D. 1717, of the Mother Grand Lodge of Speculative Freemasonry throughout the world, and about the period when dissensions first commenced which finally led to the formation of the rival Grand Lodge in 1750-1, the founders of which took the name of "Ancients," at the same time dubbing the original Grand Lodge as the "Moderns." Such being the case I have considered it a fitting opportunity to give a "Brief Sketch of Freemasonry" in the Province of Sussex, the chief interest of which is a list of Extinct Lodges before and since the union of the two Grand Lodges in 1813, with their dates of constitution, and their numbers as altered from time to time.
