About the Supreme Grand Chapter Of England
The Supreme Grand Chapter of England is the governing body of Royal Arch Masons in
The Royal Arch is the continuation of Craft Freemasonry. Its members, called Companions, meet in Chapters under a Grand Chapter. Chapters are ruled over by three Principals, who rule conjointly, and the Grand Chapter is ruled over by three Grand Principals, with a Pro First Grand Principal when the First Grand Principal is a Royal Prince.
Chapters at home are grouped as a Metropolitan area or Provinces (based on the old Counties) and Chapters overseas are grouped in Districts. Metropolitan, Provincial and District Grand Chapters are ruled over by a Grand Superintendent who is appointed by the First Grand Principal as his personal representative for the particular area.In
The Royal Arch is considered to be the completion of "pure ancient Masonry". and members of the Craft who have attained the rank of Master mason are encouraged to join a Royal Arch Chapter.
The Provincial Grand Superintendent for Wiltshire is David Blanchard.
