Established in 1859 as No. 1097, and renumbered in 1863 as No. 795, Saint John's Lodge is one of only two in the Province of Berkshire to use Taylor's Ritual. As a "summer" Lodge, we meet in May, June, September, and October. It has been our long-established tradition to have a full Christmas dinner at our June meeting. It has also been our long-standing tradition to have curry at our September meeting. Join us and experience something a little "different".
