The Grand Secretary, United Grand Lodge of England agreed to this, provided that access was restricted to nominees of the Lodge for 100 years. This condition has been accepted There are some records relating to Freemasons' lodges already in the Record Office, among the Quarter Sessions records (ref. QDS 1). Under legislation passed in 1799 (39 George III c79) certain societies were declared unlawful. Freemasons' lodges were exempted, provided that they deposited annually with the Clerk of the Peace a certificate, which was to include name of lodge, place and time of meeting, and names and descriptions of members. Lists covering the period 1799-1801, 1818, 1834-42, 1844-47, 1856, 1860, 1864-65 have been entered in a register (QDS1/1). These, and later returns up to 1968, can also be found in bundles (QDS1/2). The 1799 legislation was repealed by the Criminal Law Act 1967 (1967 chap 58) |
