Welcome

Welcome to the Berkshire Provincial Grand Chapter website. I hope it will be of interest and informative to Master Masons and Royal Arch Companions alike.

The Order of the Holy Royal Arch is the ultimate step in Pure Antient Masonry. It is closely associated with the Craft and is an extension to the preceding degrees in Craft Masonry.

The Holy Royal Arch provides an added spiritual dimension to the Craft and at the same time a very special feeling of good Companionship is engendered amongst its members. Those who embrace it will testify to the high level of enjoyment they derive from their membership.

A number of Companions have contributed to the website and by this method of promoting our Order we are endeavouring to provide an insight into the various aspects of the Holy Royal Arch in the Province of Berkshire.

As well as providing information to Master Masons I hope the website will enable the Province to keep in close contact with Companions and encourage the two way flow of news and views.

Finally, may I say to all Master Masons who are not yet members of the Holy Royal Arch come and join us; it is good fun and is there to be enjoyed. You will be made most welcome.
