Banners of Craft Lodges in Hertfordshire (Continued)

Friendship Lodge No: 8357

During a friendly chat at a local club, five Masons decided they would like to petition for a new Lodge. This resulted in their gathering sufficient support to make this possible. accordingly the lodge was consecrated on 31st March 1971.  

 

Five of the original founders were from a Middlesex lodge called Amicita. This probably leads to the design of the banner crest which shows a pair of shaking hands as Amicita is loosely translated as meaning friendship.  Above the hands is a curtained porchway. There are a number of other traditional masonic symbols such as the square pavement, and the square and compasses.

​

The banner was dedicated by VW Bro Guy Marsden Halsey, DPGM on 4th March, 1974.
