Ickenham Lodge
Ickenham Lodge is a Lodge under the jurisdiction of the United and Honorable Fraternity of Ancient and Accepted Masons of England in the guise of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE). It is numbered 5770 in the Register of the Grand Lodge of England.
In terms of Masonic genealogy, the roots of Ickenham Lodge go back to Shakespeare Lodge (Warwickshire) No. 284, which was Consecrated in 1792. Ickenham 5770 is the fifth daughter lodge in direct line of succession from Shakespeare 284 (q.v. Masonic Genealogy Chart). After sponsoring Ickenham St Giles Lodge in 1944, Ickenham 5770 sponsored the formation of Field End Lodge 6924 on 10 September 1949, which, in turn, sponsored the formation of Haste Hill Lodge 7592 (1958). Again, in turn, the latter Lodge sponsored Copse Wood Lodge 8000 (1964). Field End Lodge then sponsored another daughter Lodge (a great-granddaughter Lodge), the Lodge of Sincere Friendship 8548 (1973). These five Lodges have been dubbed the “Cinque Lodges of Middlesex”, with the aim of a greater degree of association between them. At one time an annual golf tournament took place between members of the Cinque Lodges. Ickenham Lodge also sponsored the formation of Ickenham St Giles 6028 in February 1944, which then onwardly sponsored the Hundred of Elthorne Lodge 7596 in 1958. In 2013 Haste Hill Lodge was erased, bringing an end to the "Cinque Lodges".
== Founding ==
The Founders of the Lodge were from the Ickenham area, having taken up residence there just after the First World War, when the district became a dormitory town on the periphery of Greater London. A number of them sang in the choir and worshipped in the beautiful 14th Century Ickenham St Giles Church, but their acquaintance with each other was mainly brought about by their daily journey to London. Discussion of common interests whilst traveling on the Metropolitan Line soon led to the formation of the Ickenham Lodge of Instruction (hereafter referred to as the Lodge of Rehearsal = LOR) under the leadership of the late WBro Swabey, acting as Preceptor, the late WBro W Crabb, as Secretary and Treasurer, and ten other brethren. Their meetings were held in the winter in the comparative seclusion of the Ickenham Cricket Club pavilion. There was little or no heating and the only means of access was across the flooded pitch and outfield. Street lighting was not provided in those days and the journey from home to the LOR was made in complete darkness. Due decorum was observed at the meetings, if unconstitutionally held, which terminated in the social atmosphere of the club bar, equipped with fruit machines and other indoor sports equipment. In these surroundings the LOR progressed, until the activities came to the notice of the Executive of the Province, when the LOR officers were kindly, if firmly, asked to associate themselves formally with a properly constituted lodge To this end enquiries were made, as a result of which Ruislip Lodge No 4301 gladly accepted the LOR as their “No 2”, no doubt to the relief of the Province. The LOR progressed over the years, witnessing brethren passing through the Chair of their respective lodges and welcoming other brethren new to the village. In 1938 some members considered the time had arrived when they could embark on the ambition to found a lodge in Ickenham. Most notable among the founders was Edwin Flavell, a brigadier who fought in both World Wars and was a commander under Field Marshal Montgomery. From 1967 to 1985 he was Provincial Grand Master of Berkshire. The minutes of a meeting held in the “Coach and Horses”, Ickenham, by the intending Founders on 14 July 1938 record:
WBro F J Hilburn was elected Chairman of the Founders and Bro W Crabb as Secretary, that the intended Lodge be named Ickenham Lodge to meet at Freemasons’ Hall, Uxbridge on Saturday in the months of February, April, October, November.
