St Thomas Lodge and Cadogan Court
Cadogan Court was built and opened in 1986 with a refurbishment in 2005 for the purpose of looking after the ill aged and those with dementia. It was and is run by the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution and has 70 residents .
As some of the residents are unable to visit there lodges due to age and health restrictions it was decided at St Thomas lodge that it would be a great idea to have an extraordinary meeting at Cadogan Court once a year specially for them.
After getting permission from the Province the first meeting was held on 22nd July 1989
The lodge was duly opened by the WM R. M. Lashbrook and they received lectures from
W Bro M.H. Buller called;
“Masonic Knowledge, “ Charity and Benevolence “ and On the square”
They also received a lecture called “Some remarks on early Freemasonry in Exeter from W.M. W Bro R. M Lashbrook.
After the meeting Tea and cake was provided with a presentation of a Memorial Clock and Garden furniture to the residents of Cadogan Court from WM W Bro R.M. Lashbrook.
This was the first time that St Thomas Lodge had held these meetings which has continued every year to this day and now are usually held in October.
