St Luke’s Chapter 6540

Consecrated 7^th May 1949 Meets at The Masonic Hall, Old Orchard Street, Bath. The history of St Luke’s Chapter is inevitably wrapped up in the Admiralty’s decision to move its operations to the comparative safety of the City of Bath at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and its post-war decision to remain in Bath. Among those Admiralty employees involved in this move were a number of Freemasons from 14 different Lodges, who being unable to attend their Lodges, found Masonic companionship by meeting together for informal rehearsals in St Luke’s Church Hall at Wellsway, Bath.

The Chapter was consecrated in Bath Masonic Hall on Saturday 7^th May 1949 at a special meeting of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Somerset by the Grand Superintendent, in and over, The Province of Somerset E Comp. J. Allon Tucker, assisted by the Second and Third Provincial Grand Principals
