The Masonic Order of Pilgrim Preceptors
History of the order
The Order is based on the story of how Freemasonry came from Jerusalem to England. During the first quarter of the 20th century three actors and masons, one of which was the very distinguished English mason Albert Le Fre (1870-1969), traced in a library of a Masonic Hall or lodge somewhere in North-western England, most possibly in the greater Liverpool area, an unknown ritual of Irish origin drafted after the year 1862. Sometime later, the actors found themselves idle and forced to remain in their hotel in Manchester for a long and typically wet weekend because the play in which they had been performing suddenly ‘folded’. Then, perhaps to while away the time, they conceived the idea of using some of the information they had found as the basis of two ceremonies and so the Masonic degree called The Pilgrim Preceptors was created this side order is Membership is by invitation, and members must be subscribing Past First Principals of a regular Royal Arch Chapter under the Supreme Grand Chapter of England or in amity therewith and subscribing Past Masters of a regular Craft Lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England.
