Windsor’s Christopher Wren Lodge held a meeting in Berkshire in March, where members celebrated an occasion that was as rare as it was joyous.
Long-term members Harry Benford and Bob Dent were to be recipients of long service awards. Harry was Initiated into ‘The Wren’ in 1954, the first of three men in his family to join this Lodge. At 98, Harry has led an interesting life.
Provincial Grand Master Anthony Howlett-Bolton OBE summarised this while presenting a delighted Harry with his certificate. Anthony then moved on to present Bob Dent with his 50-year certificate. Bob joined Freemasonry while working in Hong Kong in 1974. On returning to the UK, he joined Christopher Wren Lodge in 1983.
