The Right Eminent Provincial Prior

Knight Templar masonry is a Christian Order, steeped in factual history, and requiring membership of the Royal Arch.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The full name of the Order is the \u2018United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta in England and Wales and Provinces overseas\u2019. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It provides a unique opportunity for personal growth and development; it is committed to the moral and ethical advancement of its members and fosters a sense of purpose and responsibility in all aspects of life.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are the Province of Cheshire and North Wales and meet in 17 Preceptories across the Province, stretching from Menai Preceptory at Bangor in the west to Royal Edward Preceptory at Hyde in the east. Preceptories usually meet three or four times a year, and each Preceptory has its own Banner.<\/p>\n
