On Monday 10th January 2022 W. Bro Simon Barnes was proclaimed Worshipful Master of Guys Lodge 395 for the third consecutive time. This rare event was, of course, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which meant that, as the Lodge has been unable to meet regularly over the past two years, the ceremonies we planned have been delayed.
The last person to be sit in the master’s chair for consecutive years was George Metcalf Fayerman who was master in 1885 and 1886 however Simon still has a little way to go to beat our founding master, Nicholas Lee Torre (featured above), who was Master in 1829, 1830, 1831 and 1832 and again in 1834 and 1835.
