PGL Monmouthshire
The Province of Monmouthshire was first designated as such in 1753, 36 years after the formation of the United Grand Lodge of England in London from the disparate societies which had been meeting in hostelries prior to that date. The Provincial Grand Master, Sir Robert de Cornwall of Berrington, was then shared with the Provinces of Worcester, Salop, Gloucester and Hereford. Since then, the Provinces have grown and now have their own Provincial Grand Masters.
The earliest Lodge in the Province was formed as number 126, and lapsed in the same year! The oldest surviving Lodge is the Loyal Monmouth Lodge, number 457 (originally number 671), which was officially formed in 1839 although the Warrant is dated 21st December 1838. It continues to meet at Monmouth, the original county town.
