Masonic Jewel Repatriation

This fabulous Jewel was repatriated to Kingswood School Lodge No. 4197 before the Covid lockdown.
This was originally presented to W.Bro. Michael Crowther-Watson, W. M. of the Lodge on two occasions. I bought his regalia and case, his apron has been recycled and I now wear it in Buckinghamshire.

Another lovely example of a VSL, this time The Chilterns Lodge 4634, a real treasure.

This PZ Jewel is from the Chapter attached to my Mother Lodge, Culham College Lodge 2951 and remains in my Brothers possession. This shall be returned very soon.

This is a lovely Past Masters Jewel I acquired during Covid and yet to repatriate. Hopefully later in 2022.

This is a lovely Past Masters Jewel from 1955-56 for Concordia Lodge 2492, they meet in my home town of Aylesbury. This will be repatriated later in 2022.

I have very fond memories of repatriating this Past Masters Jewel to Castle Lodge 7302. I have visited this Lodge on numerous occasions at Banbury Masonic Hall. A very friendly Lodge and Centre, well worth a visit.

This Jewel was acquired during covid and is yet to be repatriated.

I acquired this Jewel on behalf of Taplow Lodge 3111 in conjunction with their Lodge Secretary. A particularly lovely enamel example and delivered back to the Lodge at the Buckinghamshire celebration BIG on Sunday 12th September 2021, where 104 Candidates were initiated into Freemasonry at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street.

This 1954 Past Masters Jewel was delivered back to Marlborough Lodge 1399 in September 2021 at Woodstock Masonic Hall. The Hall has recently had a major refurbishment and well worth a visit.

This lovely past masters Jewel was delivered back to Bedford Castle Lodge 6124 in 2021, the Lodge was very keen to have it recycled within the Lodge.

At visits to Lodges I find VSLs particularly interesting, this is a lovely Piece of Lodge Furniture. Bedford Castle Lodge will be a future visit as they have refurbished the Past Masters Jewel in 2021, looking forward to seeing how it looks now.

This repatriation took place in March 2022, a very friendly lodge meeting in Beaconsfield with The Chilterns Lodge No. 4634.
I presented this Jewel with an Oration from Solomon entitled 'The Past Masters Jewel'.

This 1939 Past Masters Jewel started my journey in Masonic Jewel Repatriation. Jersey Lodge No. 2334 is the oldest Lodge meeting at The Weyland Hall in Bicester, Oxfordshire. Previously owned by W.Bro. H.M Matthews who went on to become the consecrating D.C. for Weyland Lodge 6507, this is now used as the I.P.M. Jewel for the Lodge.

This 1977 P.Z. Jewel was repatriated to Hampden Chapter 6483 in early 2022. E.Comp. H.D. Seal was a Founder member of the Chapter and this will be immediately reused as a P.Z. Jewel in 2023.
