There were fourteen founders and, with the exception of one Essex mason, the rest were from London lodges, comprising accountants, two ex-pilots, company directors, and an architect, Bro Bill Dale, who designed the lodge logo and crest. These were incorporated into the banner which was designed by W.Bro John Steward.

 

The lodge is epitomised in a part of the oration given at the consecration, on 19th March 1958, "Our forebears in masonry built well, and we of this generation are aware and appreciative of the solid foundations upon which they built. Life for them had fundamental conceptions of God, of man, his nature and relationships, and these enabled them to raise a superstructure perfect in its parts and honourable to the builders. In brief, our fathers in masonry were guided by the principles of godliness, brotherhood, toleration and charity".
