LODGE ARCHIVE

Past Masters of Ulster Lodge

The men who led Ulster Lodge No. 2972 from its foundation in 1903 to its Golden Jubilee year in 1953.

This record is taken from the Lodge’s 1953 A Jubilee Review. For readability, the main list gives names rather than every Masonic rank and distinction printed in the original booklet.

More coming soon

We are continuing to transcribe and check the Lodge records after 1953. Later Past Masters will be added as the archive work progresses, together with individual biographies where the surviving records allow us to tell their stories properly.
