The Ancient and Masonic Order of The Scarlet Cord Provincial Grand Senatus of Surrey

Welcome to our website

Since the consecration of Scarlet Cord Conclave No 500 in London in December 2006, marking the revival of the Order of the Scarlet Cord, its growth has been phenomenal. Many Scarlet Cord conclaves have been formed in the British Isles and in other parts of the world.

Such has been its success it was decided that the Order should become a separate sovereign body with its own constitutions and regulations. To that end the Order, now known as The Ancient and Masonic Order of the Scarlet Cord, was inaugurated on 21 July 2010. A full description of the Order, its history, its present structure, Provinces and Districts and Officers can be found within this website.

Three Scarlet Cord conclaves were consecrated within the OSM Province of Surrey - namely, the Scarlet Cord Conclave of Surrey No 518 in July 2008, the Hill of Zion Scarlet Cord Conclave No 562 and the Guildford Scarlet Cord Conclave No 563 both in June 2010. On 21 July 2010 these became, respectively, Surrey Consistory No 4TI, Hill of Zion Consistory No 52TI, and Guildford Consistory No 53TI and, together with Warlingham Consistory No 134 consecrated on 30 October 2019, form the Provincial Grand Senatus of Surrey.

Membership is open to any Freemason who is a member in good standing of a Lodge of Freemasons governed by the United Grand Lodge of England and who is also a Prince of the Order of the Secret Monitor.
