The Provincial Grand Chapter
of Hertfordshire

The Royal Arch (also known as 'Chapter') is the continuation of Craft Freemasonry and is a completion of your journey into “Pure Antient Freemasonry”. The Book of Constitutions states ‘that Freemasonry consists of three degrees and no more, viz., those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellow Craft, and the Master Mason including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch.’

The story of the four ceremonies: Initiation, Passing and Raising in the Craft and Exaltation in the Royal Arch, takes you on a chronological journey to complete your introduction into Freemasonry.

A Master Mason is eligible to join the Royal Arch after 4 weeks. If you would like to know more about the Royal Arch or would like to discuss joining a Chapter, contact the Royal Arch Membership Team via the link below.
