Provincial Grand Master
Mark Masonry is open to all who are already Craft Freemasons. As a Craft Freemason we ask you to consider the Mark Master Mason’s Degree as a necessary step on your journey for improving your self-knowledge. If you are not yet a Freemason, and keen to become one, we will happily guide you in the right direction.
The Province
Established in June 2021, the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Northampton, Huntingdon, and Bedford is the governing body of all our Mark and Royal Ark Mariner Lodges within the Province. Although the newest constituted Mark Province, we are part of one of the oldest non-religious fraternal societies.
The Order
The origins of the Order are based on the practice of ancient operative stonemasons - who carved their marks in the stones of the buildings that they erected.
In Scotland, and other parts of the world, the Mark Degree is a continuation of the second of the three degrees in Craft Freemasonry. In England and Wales the Mark Degree is an important, but separate, development.
Testimonials
What the members say...
My masonic journey is based on the York Rite, so Mark was essential. Joining Mark was the best masonic decision I've ever made.

I'm a member of a couple of things. I like them all but if I had to cut back and keep just one it would be Mark. No question.

I'm a London Mason and I joined Mark in Northampton on a friend's recommendation. I'm so glad I did and I keep thanking him.
