What actually happened at the Goose and Gridiron in 1717?
Four existing London lodges assembled at the Goose and Gridiron Ale-house in St. Paul’s Churchyard on St. John the Baptist’s Day, June 24, 1717. The United Grand Lodge of England notes that the representatives constituted themselves as a Grand Lodge. These four founding lodges did not hold warrants from a central authority, but functioned by immemorial constitution and recognized tradition extending beyond memory.
