Internet Chapter - Welcome
Welcome to the public website of the Internet Holy Royal Arch Chapter No: 9659 on the register of
the Supreme Grand Chapter of England.
I was installed as the First Principal / Most Excellent Zerubbabel on the 14 th March 2025, and I am delighted you are taking the time to visit our website,
The Chapter is aligned to the Internet Lodge No: 9659 where I served as its Worshipful Master in 2017 / 2018,
The Chapter meets physically three times each year on the Fridays before the Internet Lodge meetings in March (Installation – in Salford, Manchester) the other two meetings are held in different locations throughout England and Wales,.This year we will meet in Durham in August and Bath in October.
This is an extraordinary Chapter which to give some history was created by saving the Manchester Epworth Chapter No: 3921, in the Province of East Lancashire, which was sadly suffering decliningnumbers, so we do have a long history dating back to Manchester Epworth Chapter’s consecration.
Most Craft Masons will understand the Importance of the Royal Arch in completing their Masonic journeys, the Royal Arch is a beautiful and colourful ceremony and importantly, it builds upon the story presented during the 3rd degree or Master Mason’s ceremony. The narrative, which subsequently explains in the Royal Arch ceremony of exaltation, completes that story.
If you are a Master Mason from a United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) Craft Lodge or a Craft Lodge from a UGLE recognised Grand Lodge, may I urge you to consider joining the Royal Arch when if the time is right, you will be warmly received and made to feel most welcome here in the Internet Chapter No: 9659.
Excellent Companion Carl Nigel Freeland
First Principal, Internet Chapter No: 9659
