Provincial Grand Lodge of Down
In 1868 the Grand Lodge of Ireland decided upon a re-arrangement of Masonic Provinces and ruled that the entire County of Down should be
formed into a new Province which would be known as the Masonic Province of Down . The first meeting of the new Provincial Grand Lodge
of Down was held on 10th November 1868 in the Lodge room of Lodge No.86 Downpatrick. This new Provincial Grand Lodge comprised of 20
Lodges from the old Province of Belfast and North Down and 23 from the former Provincial Grand Lodge of South Down, of which Lodge 77
was one.
