- Comments:
- Bi-centenary jewels are awarded to lodges that can demonstrate two hundred years of continuous working.
- Comments:
- The charter originally awarded to St. Martins Lodge in 1805 came from the the formation of an earlier lodge in 1764, Centenary jewels of this lodge bear this date.
- Comments:
- As most jewels are manufactured in the same year as they are presented, date of manufacture for this jewel is taken to be the same as the centenary year of the Lodge. Please note this manufacture date is speculative as occasionally jewels are manufactured before or even after the date of presentation.
