Welcome to the  

Provincial Grand Chapter Of Royal Arch Masons  

Province of Wiltshire

I extend a warm welcome to this, the Website of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Wiltshire; which I hope will be of interest to all Companions, and to those who wish to learn more or may be thinking of joining the Royal Arch Chapter.

The website has been designed with the view of providing information to all Companions within the Province of Wiltshire and to encourage the two way flow of news and views. I would also encourage you to look at the “Lectures” page which I trust will help you make that daily advancement in Masonic Knowledge.  I urge all Chapters and Companions to contribute information to help develop the website, thereby, maintaining a continual interest to both members and non members.

The Royal Arch ceremony is a beautiful, absorbing and morally satisfying conclusion to all Speculative Craft Freemasonry and membership is an essential preliminary to those seeking membership of many other degrees. The Pro Grand Master has recently reminded all Craft Masons, and I quote: “The Royal Arch is indissolubly linked to Craft. There is no compromise here….. The Royal Arch should be regarded by all as the important final step in our pure Ancient Freemasonry”.

Finally, may I say to all Master Masons who are not yet members of the Holy Royal Arch, come and join us; you will be made most welcome.

Excellent Companion  David Frederick James Blanchard 

Most Excellent Grand Superintendent
