A Brief History of Craft Freemasonry in Lincolnshire Rev J D R Spriggs

This compact volume, written to mark the Tercentenary of Freemasonry in the UK, gives a simple and narrative account of the establishment and growth of the Craft within the Province of Lincolnshire from 1792 to the present day. It has been produced under the auspices of the Lincolnshire Masonic Research Committee and edited from contributions from all the Lodges in the Province by Rev J. D. R. Spriggs, PAGChap and quondam PrGOrator. While not an exhaustive nor minutely detailed record, it aims to give a balanced overview of how Masonry has flourished in the County over the last 225 years. John Henry Newman once said, "There is no evidence of life without growth." On this basis Craft Masonry in Lincolnshire is more alive than ever.
