Brookmans Park Lodge

Lodge Number:	7655
Consecration:	29 October 1959
Meeting Place:	Halsey Masonic Hall - Cheshunt
Meeting Dates:	2nd Saturday October (Installation) 2nd Saturday December 1st Saturday February 1st Saturday April

The Lodge was consecrated by RW Bro Rev. Dr. Joseph Moffett, the Provincial Grand Master. It was sponsored by Kingswood Lodge No. 2278. It was formed from two groups of brethren. The first Group from a number who met on the train to London as well as the golf and tennis clubs of Brookmans Park and the second group from Enfield and Winchmore Hill. The two were connected through membership of the Mayfield Football Club and all wished to have a masonic home in Hertfordshire meeting on Saturdays.

The initial discussion, led by W Bro G.A.S. Hoy, took place in 1958 in the Brookmans Park Hotel, the proposed venue until its unsuitability for Masonic meetings became apparent. It therefore established its first home at the Red Lion, Hatfield, moving via Ashwell House, St. Albans to its present home, Halsey Hall, Cheshunt in 1966.

The original membership seems to have been mainly split between engineering, public service and (from an early initiate W Bro Geoff Love) music a section now entirely lost, to the detriment of the Festive Board.

The house represented on the Arms is that of the Gaussen Family, believed to be the first in the Brookmans Park district. The Folly Arch is a local landmark of no special significance other than the whim of its eccentric builder. At the head of the Crest are two corn sheaves in a green field, representative of the agricultural importance of the District, whilst at its base, the blue and silver wavy lines represent the rivers and lakes of Hertfordshire. On the border, or scroll, will be seen eight Tudor roses. These recall the association of Henry VIII with Hatfield House.

In the centre of the Crest there is the Golden Hart of Hertfordshire on a green mound, typifying the green hills of the county, whilst the mantling of oak leaves and acorns are reminders that Queen Elizabeth 1 was supposed to have heard of her succession under an oak tree at Hatfield.
