HISTORY:

Clarendon Lodge is one of Staffordshire's many Lodges of Freemasons.  It was founded in 1965 as a Daughter Lodge from Boscobel n° 6415.

Its members are from all walks of life - and includes members not only from the surrounding areas of Wolverhampton but even from far afield in the United Kingdom and overseas.

The name of Clarendon was chosed from the title of Edward Hyde, the First Earl of Clarendon, who attained that honour in 1661 after the restoration of the Monarchy in the person of Charles II.
