- Comments:
- As most jewels are manufactured in the same year they are presented, date of manufacture for this jewel is taken to be the same as its presentation date. Please note this manufacture date is speculative as occasionally jewels are manufactured before or even after the date of presentation.
- Comments:
- Early lodges in England and Wales may have had several different numbers, due to a renumbering process that took place many times. The final renumbering took place in 1863. We record the Lodge with the number it has now, or last had. For lodges founded before the final renumbering of 1863, the Library and Museum also ascribed a serial number. This is a unique number attributed in accordance with the date the lodge was founded. The serial number of this Lodge is 754.
