Philip, 1st Duke of Wharton (16981731) Was the second person of the nobility to be Grand Master of England and the fourth Roman Catholic to hold that office. He has been called the "evil genius" of the early Grand Lodge days. When he was 18 the Old Pretender conferred on him the Dukedom of Northumberland, on the strength of which he borrowed and squandered £2,000 from the widow of James II. Upon returning from his travels, he espoused the Hanoverian cause and was rewarded with another dukedom. He took his seat in the House of Lords and was president of the notorious Hell-Fire Club. Anderson's account in his second Book of Constitutions (1738) accuses the duke of having engineered his irregular election as Grand Master in June 1722. He was almost certainly the founder of the anti-Masonic body of "Gormogons." In 1726 he left England, never to return, and the next year found him fighting against the British at the siege of Gibraltar. For this he was outlawed by England and shorn of his title and estates in 1729. In the same year he formed a lodge in Madrid, which lasted until 1768. He became a Roman Catholic in 1726 and died in a monastery. He was satirized by Pope in his Moral Essays: "Wharton, the scorn and wonder of our days, whose ruling passion was the lust of Praise.”

Robert Edward, 9th Lord Petre (1742-1801) One of the three Roman Catholics who served as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England. He gave his official sanction to the publication of the first edition of Preston's Illustrations of Masonry in 1772, and in 1776 the earliest Freemasons' Hall of London was opened during his reign. He dedicated it to "Masonry, Virtue, Universal Charity, and Benevolence." Although considered as the head of the Catholics of England, Petre presided for five years over a branch of society against which the thunders of the Vatican had been unleashed in 1739, and again in 1751. Other Catholic Grand Masters were Alfred Brown, 6th Viscount Montagu (1732), and George Frederick Samuel, Earl de Grey and Ripon (1870-74). Lord Petre presided over many Masonic meetings after his tenure of office had ended. The last of record was in 1791, when, in the presence of acting grand master, Lord Rawdan, he took the chair as Past Grand Master. Records disclose that he expended about £5,000 annually for charity.

Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1843) First Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, serving 30 years, 1813-43. Born Jan. 27, 1773, the sixth son of King George III. Was initiated in the Royal York Lodge of Friendship at Berlin, Dec. 20, 1798. He later joined the Lodge of Antiquity (now No. 2), of which he was master for many years. He also served as master of the Lodge of Friendship No. 6 in March, 1808. In 1805 he was given the rank of past grand master by his brother, the Prince of Wales, who (when prince regent) appointed him as deputy grand master in 1812. The next year he succeeded as grand master of the Moderns, and at the union with the Ancients, was proposed by his elder brother, the Duke of Kent, who was grand master of the Ancients, as first grand master of the United Grand Lodge of England. The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution was founded during his grand mastership, but rather despite than because of him. Exalted in 1810, he was M.E. Zerubbabel of the Grand Chapter, RAM., and grand superintendent of the Grand Conclave of Knights Templar. He took little interest in the orders of knighthood, and during his long career the grand conclave met only once. Died April 21, 1843.

GRAND MASTER'S THRONE, SENIOR WARDEN'S CHAIR, JUNIOR WARDEN'S CHAIR, FOOTSTOOL. Gilded limewood, 1791.

Soon after the election of the Prince of Wales (later George IV) as the first Royal Grand Master in 1790, the Moderns Grand Lodge commissioned a ceremonial throne and two warden’s chairs, replete with Masonic symbolism, to be used in its new Freemasons’ Hall in central London. The London cabinet maker Robert Kennett charged £157 10s and took three months to complete the set in gilded limewood. Three footstools were also made although only one has survived. Robert Kennett is recorded in premises at 67 New Bond Street and was active from 1779-1796. The chairs have recently been conserved.

The Grand Master’s throne was commissioned by Grand Lodge in 1791 for the new Grand Master, the Prince of Wales (later Prince Regent, later George IV). It was to be accompanied by two wardens’ chairs and used in the new Freemasons’ Hall, the first permanent home of English freemasonry that has been completed in 1776. The chairs were to be made by Robert Kennett and to be in the French style admired by the Prince. Kennett was an established cabinet maker and upholsterer; it was at his suggestion that the chairs were upholstered in deep blue velvet. He had previously manufactured chairs for the Duchess of Beaufort at Badminton House, whose husband had been Grand Master from 1767-1771. In total the three chairs cost £157 10s (£157.50) and took three months to make. In gilded limewood, they were constructed in parts that could be slotted together and easily dismantled. Freemasons’ Hall was often hired out for non-masonic events and the chairs would have to be moved around, or even away, from the building so this would have proved a useful function. Originally there probably would have been three footstools but only the one survives. It is not certain that it was commissioned at the same time as the throne but it is believed to date from the same period.

The throne as it is today would not have been the throne that welcomed the Prince in 1791. Now over 200 years old, some changes have been made. Originally the throne would have been surmounted by the ostrich feather crest of the Prince of Wales. Since the resignation of George IV as Grand Master in 1813, many other Grand Masters have used this throne and not all have been the Prince of Wales. However, the crest was not replaced until c1901 when the Duke of Connaught was installed as Grand Master and the throne was furnished with a ducal coronet. The original feathers can be seen in the mezzotint of George IV seated in the throne, which also shows the original terrestrial and celestial globes. It is not known what became of these, but they have since been replaced by later reproductions. The present globes were constructed in the 1860s by Thomas Malby & Son, the renowned family of map and globe makers of the nineteenth century.

More recent restoration work has also been carried out on the chairs. Last used for the 275th anniversary of United Grand Lodge of England in 1992, the chairs had suffered some wear and tear, mainly to the gilding and carvings. In 2005-8, work was undertaken by W. Thomas Restorations Limited. After examining the chairs, they realised that they had been re-gilded several times since their original construction, the last time with oil gilde on a gesso base. They had also been lacquered. The culmination of so many layers meant that the carving had been obliterated. Construction repairs had also been made to the chairs, many of which now looked unsightly. These were all removed and any repairs needed were re-done using limewood and animal glue, and missing elements of the carving were replaced. All the previous layers of gilding were removed and a new layer of gesso was applied to the chairs. They were were water gilded using 23½ carat extra thick gold leaf – it took 190 books of leaf to complete the job! In total the restorers spent 3,765 hours working on the three chairs. The two globes were also restored by a specialist conservator.

Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra

Existen desacuerdos sobre la neutralidad en el punto de vista de la versión actual de este artículo o sección.
En la página de discusión puedes consultar el debate al respecto.

[ltr]
La Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra (UGLE en el acrónimo en inglés) es el principal cuerpo regulador de la Francmasonería en Inglaterra y en algunas jurisdicciones fuera de ella (normalmente países de la Mancomunidad Británica de Naciones o que pertenecieron al Imperio Británico). Está formada, según datos de su web oficial, por 270.000 miembros adscritos a unas 8.000 logias. La Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra suele ser considerada como el principal referente mundial de la corriente masónica que se denomina regular, para distinguirla de la que admite la presencia de mujeres en la masonería y no establece para sus miembros la condición de creer en Dios o en un Ser Supremo y el juramento sobre un libro de la Ley Sagrada. La Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra se considera una institución masónica regular, aspecto sobre el que discrepan otras corrientes de la Masonería.[/ltr]

Historia de la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra

La Primera Gran Logia se constituyó el 24 de junio de 1717, cuando cuatro logias de Londres se reunieron en la tabernaGoose and Gridiron y formaron la que denominaron Gran Logia de Londres y Westminster. En 1723 se publicaron lasConstituciones de Anderson conteniendo sus reglas de organización y principios.[/ltr]
[ltr]
En 1751 un grupo de francmasones formó una Gran Logia rival, la Gran Logia de Masones Libres y Aceptados de Inglaterra, argumentando que la Gran Logia creada en Londres había introducido innovaciones y se había apartado de los antiguos linderos de la Masonería, mientras que ellos trabajaban de acuerdo con las antiguas reglas dadas por el Príncipe Eduardo en York en el año 926 d. C. Por este motivo, terminará siendo informalmente denominada como la Gran Logia de losantiguos, en contraposición a la Primera Gran Logia que, paradójicamente, será conocida como la de los modernos.[/ltr]
[ltr]
La Constitución de la Segunda Gran Logia, compilada por su Gran Secretario Laurence Dermott, se denomina Ahiman Rezon, nombre hebraico que aproximadamente viene a significar Una ayuda a un Hermano.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Henry Sadler, en su libro Hechos y ficciones masónicas (1887), contradice el discurso de Dermott, según el cual los miembros de la segunda Gran Logia habrían sido unos escindidos por causa de los usos tradicionales. Según Sadler, en realidad, los "antiguos" eran, sobre todo, inmigrantes irlandeses en Londres que, al ser recibidos con cierta hostilidad por las logias inglesas, decidieron constituir su propia organización.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Las diferencias rituales entre una y otra tradición no provendrían de ninguna "innovación" de la Gran Logia de Londres, sino que se deberían a la diferente manera en que, tanto en Irlanda como en Inglaterra, se llevaría a cabo la adopción y reorganización del patrimonio ritual de la vieja masonería escocesa. Si bien una parte de la historiografía ha tendido a exagerar las divergencias entre "modernos" y "antiguos", éstas no afectan en realidad más que a ciertas particularidades sobre la disposición de la logia y del ritual. En lo esencial, los ritos y las ceremonias masónicas son comunes en las dos tradiciones. Sin embargo, conocer las diferencias entre ellas, por irrelevantes que parezcan, resulta indispensable para comprender la génesis de los diferentes ritos masónicos, pues todos provienen de una de estas dos familias.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Las rivalidades entre ambas se mantuvieron durante 63 años, constituyendo el primer cisma de la francmasonería. En 1809, las dos Grandes Logias rivales iniciaron negociaciones para llegar a una unión equitativa, que se produjo el 27 de diciembre de 1813 de la mano de sus respectivos Grandes Maestros, los duques de Sussex y de Kent, hijos ambos del rey Jorge III. La nueva organización se denominó Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra y es la que pervive en la actualidad. El duque de Sussex fue su primer Gran Maestro.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Actualmente, es el Principe Eduard, Duque de Kent, quien ejerce como Gran Maestro de la Gran logia Unida de Inglaterra.[/ltr]

[ltr]

Regularidad de origen

Es aceptado por la generalidad de las Obediencias masónicas que la denominada regularidad de origen emana de la primitiva Gran Logia de Londres y Westminster. En este sentido, las Obediencias que se consideran regulares habrían recibido su carta patente directamente de esta Gran Logia o transmitida a través de otras Obediencias intermedias, cuyo primer eslabón sería la Gran Logia de Londres y Westminster.[/ltr]

"Beyond the Craft" y el Duque de Sussex, primer Gran Maestro de la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra

Beyond the Craft es un conocido libro, actualmente en su 5ª edición, que ha servido de guía a los masones ingleses para entender la maraña de Cuerpos y Ordenes colaterales presentes en la Masonería de la principal Obediencia europea y (auto)considerada como la Gran Logia Madre de todas las Grandes Logias y Grandes Orientes.

GRAN LOGIA UNIDA DE INGLATERRA Beyond+the+Craft

Recientemente una nueva obra, escrita por el Revd. Barker Cryer Neville, Pasado Gran Capellán de la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra y Pasado Maestro de la Logia de Estudios Quatuor Coronati, reconocido autor y conferenciante masónico, ha visto la luz y permite indagar en el origen histórico y peculiaridades de, entre otros, los siguientes cuerpos masónicos:

La Masonería de Marca
Los Nautas del Arca Real
El Monitor Secreto
Los Grados Crípticos
Los Grados Masónicos Aliados (The Grand Tyler of Solomon, Knights of St Lawrence the Martyr, Knights of Constantinople, The Red Cross of Babylon y Grand High Priest)
El Rito Antiguo y Aceptado
Los grados del Santo Sepulcro y de San Juan Evangelista
Los Caballeros Templarios

Pero, ¿por qué la Masonería presenta este concurrido y aparentemente desorganizado panorama? Para entenderlo debemos conocer la figura y el papel desempeñado por Augusto Federico, Duque de Sussex, sexto hijo varón del rey Jorge III y Gran Maestro de la Gran Logia de los Modernos y, tras la unificación de las dos Grandes Logias rivales, fue su Gran Maestro hasta su muerte acaecida en 1843.

Durante su maestría tomó importantes medidas para fortalecer la unión de las dos Grandes Logias, entre ellas impulsó la creación de la Logia de Reconciliación, que sería la responsable de la fijación del nuevo ritual. Favorable como era a una mayor participación de católicos y judíos en la sociedad inglesa del momento, favoreció una cierta descristianización de la Gran Logia y de sus prácticas.

Desde otro ángulo, el Duque de Sussex no fue partidario de la existencia de grados y órdenes fuera de los tres grados de Aprendiz, Compañero y Maestro y del Supremo Capítulo del Arco Real, suprimiendo de modo activo cualquier otra entidad. No sería hasta después de su muerte cuando resurgirían con fuerza, pero ya fuera de la estructura de la Gran Logia, al contrario de lo que sucede en las otras Grandes Logias británicas, como la Gran Logia de Escocia y la Gran Logia de Irlanda, o las Grandes Logias americanas.
