HISTORY OF THE LODGE

The Arthur Jolly Lodge was founded to commemorate the Boys Festival of 1966, at which the Provincial Grand Master of Sussex, R.W.Bro Arthur Jolly presided, and which raised a total of £444,000 for the Boys School.

It was named after the Provincial Grand Master himself, not merely as a tribute to his work as a freemason but to recognise his total contribution to society which is reflected in the second part of this Lodge History entitled "Arthur Jolly - The Man"

It had seventeen founders, and the, then Deputy Provincial Grand Master, the Rev Charles H Mosse became the first master of the new lodge.
