The Preceptory of St. David, 454 met face to face for the first time since the Installation meeting in January 2020 to Install Kt. Paul Sefton. Due to the covid restrictions in North Wales and the limitations of the Lady Augusta Hall, six knights met in a social distance meeting with the purpose of Installing the forty sixth Eminent Preceptor. It is the hope of the knights that we will be able to meet in full at the November meeting.<\/div>\n

Centenary Meeting of The de Tabley Preceptory, No. 100<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not often that a Preceptory celebrates its Centenary meeting some 151 years after it was Consecrated but his was the unusual position that The de Tabley Preceptory found itself in on Wednesday 27 February.<\/p>\n

The de Tabley Preceptory, or Encampment as it was then known, was consecrated on 15 April 1868 and named ‘de Tabley’ in celebration of the appointment of George Leicester, or Leicester-Warren, the 2nd. Baron de Tabley, as the Provincial Grand Master for Cheshire.<\/p>\n

In 1873, as a result of falling numbers, the Preceptory moved to Altrincham where it continued to meet for a number of years. Membership remained low and in 1884 the Preceptory committee proposed to move to Crewe or elsewhere.<\/p>\n

A year later there was a change of mind and the Preceptory remained in Altrincham, but numbers did not improve.<\/p>\n

The Preceptory had made no Returns to Great Priory since 1881, and held no meetings at all after December 1886. Eight more years elapsed before anyone noticed, it seems, for it wasn\u2019t until 1894 that Provincial Priory advised that as de Tabley had not complied with a Resolution of Great Priory, and not sent the required Returns, the Warrant was forfeit and must be surrendered.<\/p>\n

Whether it was by accident, or intent, the Warrant could not be found and so was not returned as instructed. By a stroke of luck, it was re-discovered a year later in 1895, when The Great Sub-Prior, Lord Euston, came to Chester to Install the Hon. Alan de Tatton Egerton – soon to be Lord Egerton of Tatton, and who was already the Provincial Grand Master – as Provincial Prior. Discussions took place whereby the Resuscitation of de Tabley Preceptory found favour, ultimately resulting in Great Priory cancelling the forfeiture of the Warrant and waiving all unpaid fees.<\/p>\n

On the 16 May 1896 the Resuscitation meeting took place at Altrincham Town Hall.<\/p>\n

However, records could not be found in 1996 to support one-hundred years of continuous working and only recently did the requisite proofs come to light.<\/p>\n

The Most Eminent and Supreme Grand Master, Paul Raymond Clement, G.C.T. was delighted to be present to join the Preceptory in the long-awaited celebrations. (Pictured left to right, the M.E. & S. Grand Master hands the Centenary Warrant to E.Kt. David Hinde, P.Gt.W. of R. in the company of R.E.Kt. Dr Anthony George Mathie, Provincial Prior for Cheshire and North Wales.) and promoted him ‘in the field’ to Past Great Warden of Regalia. The Provincial Prior promoted E. Kt. Ken Thompson to the rank of Past Provincial Second Constable.<\/p>\n

E. Kt. Alan Pierce, Past Gt. Std. B. (B), the Provincial Sub Prior and a Past Preceptor of de Tabley, gave a short presentation of the history of the Preceptory, taken from a longer account of which all present subsequently received a copy.<\/p>\n

The Grand Master, the Great Marshal E Kt. Tim Wheeler KCT, the Asst. Great Vice-Chancellor E Kt. Dan Heath and the R E Provincial Prior were all made Honorary Members of de Tabley.<\/p>\n
