The first Etruscan Lodge no. 803 met at the Bridge Inn, Etruria from 1803 to 1807
when it was relocated to the Talbot Inn Stoke, where it remained for the next forty
years until it was erased from the Grand Lodge register.
The warrant of the Lodge had to be surrendered to the Grand Lodge in September
1847 and the present Warrant was issued dated 13th October 1847,
still with the number 803.
The first Worshipful Master of the new Lodge was Samuel Baker who reigned
for the first two years, when William Kenwright Harvey was installed.
W. Bro. Harvey later became The Provincial Grand Master for Staffordshire in 1864.
On 6th July 1863 the Grand Lodge altered the number of the Lodge to 546 as it is today.
A complete history of the first 150 years of the Lodge is available on a CD and will be
made available via the Contact Secretary link.
The number of Brethren now numbers twenty eight active members,
who play a role, and enjoy our ceremonies and our fellowship at the Festive Board.
We have a number of regular visitiors who enjoy our lodge, and always recieve a
special Etruscan welcome. Any Brethren thinking of visiting please contact our Secretary who
will be pleased to reply.
