King Alfred Chapter No. 3169 is one of the youngest Royal Arch Chapters in the Province of Somerset and adopted the name of its sponsoring Lodge. King Alfred of Wessex defeated the Danes at Edington in Somerset and thereafter his kingdom was left in peace.
He was of course the ancestor of our English Royal Line. The founders of King Alfred Chapter are to be congratulated for their inspiration in using the name of such an outstanding National Hero.
