Additional Stability Items of Interest

'Henry Muggeridge 1811-1899, A Life'.

The presentation of the above paper to the Lodge resulted in a Lodge Past Master tracing Henry Muggeridge’s final resting place, and his gravestone in Abney Park Cemetery. This in turn gave us the names of other members of his family buried in the same plot. Further investigation resulted with the finding of several Masonic artefacts, which had belonged to Henry Muggeridge, and now stored in the Masonic Museum at Great Queen Street. These artifacts are now centrally displayed, imposingly, in the main body of the Museum, adding further credence to the Stability evolution as indicated below.

Other papers including, ‘Historical Landmark: Stability Lodge of Instruction' by Bro. F.W. Golby, dated 07/05/1915, and a paper by Bro. Daniel on Bro. R. Hamiltion, First P.G. Master of East Jamaica, along with comments on that paper, all duly presented to the Quatour Coronati Lodge, are recommended reading by even the most casual observer of Stability Ritual. They inform us that, on the known facts, our Stability Ritual can be traced back, through Henry Muggeridge to the Act of Union in 1817 by the Grand Lodge of the Antients & the Grand Lodge of the Moderns, and the formation of the Lodge of Reconciliation, that settled the working of the three degrees, rehearsed the workings, and was approved by Grand Lodge of England in 1816.
