when did the supreme grand chapter of england formally separate from the grand lodge
The provided sources do not record a formal separation between the Supreme Grand Chapter and the Grand Lodge. Instead, the historical records in the library detail their formal alignment and administrative integration.
The Articles of Union of 1813 declared that pure Ancient Masonry consists of three degrees, including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch 13. Following preliminary agreements in November 1813 2, the United Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England was formally constituted on March 18, 1817 2. Rather than separating the two bodies, the regulations enacted in 1817 bound the Order directly to the Craft by requiring every Royal Arch chapter to be attached to a warranted lodge 2.
If a formal separation occurred at a later date, the supplied sources do not contain record of it.
