History of the Lodge
The Old Albanian Lodge No. 4999 was consecrated by Dispensation at Freemasons' Hall under The sponsorship of Halsey Lodge by RW Bro Charles E Keyser MA, JP, FSA, PGW, Provincial Grand Master for Hertfordshire. The Consecrating Officers were elected Honorary members of the Lodge and presented with a replica of the Founders Jewel. The Founders and all those who have belonged since, were all Old Boys or Staff of St. Albans School. Interestingly, the boys when entering the School, were presented with a history of the School and Abbey in which reference is made to the "Patron Saint of Freemasonry, St. Alban". The Lodge enjoys the privilege of meeting in the 13th century Abbey Gateway, now part of the School, close to St. Albans Cathedral of which it once formed part.
The Crest and Motto adopted by the Lodge are those of the School, the history of which dates from Abbot Ulsinus in 948. The Lodge is an active member of the Federation of School Lodges.
