did they ever issue warrants

Subordinate lodges operated and flourished under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of All England at York within England 23. In 1779, the York body granted a deputation to members who had withdrawn from the Lodge of Antiquity, constituting them as a Grand Lodge of England south of the river Trent 3. A paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge additionally notes a warrant issued by the York Grand Lodge in 1778 to Josiah Beckwith and others.

While it exercised authority to warrant lodges domestically, the Grand Lodge at York never chartered any lodges outside of England, nor did any of its subordinate lodges do so 3.
