THE BEAUMONT LODGE

CONSECRATION OF THE BEAUMONT LODGE,

This interesting event took place at Kirkburton on Thursday, 8th May 1884. The past and present members and Officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge of the Province of West Yorkshire, of whom there were a very large number present, met at the Lodge room, in the Royal Hotel, at half-past one o'clock, and great difficulty was experienced in getting accommodation for the whole of the visitors, the room being somewhat small for such an occasion.

Brother Tew W.D.P.G.M., occupied the chair; and the following brethren, Officers and members of Beaumont Lodge, No. 2035, supported him:- Brothers Rev. P. F. J. Pearce P.M. and P.P.G. Chaplain, Rev. W. P. Iugledow Chaplain, W. Schofield W.M., W. Fitton S.W., Bon Stocks J.W., Ed. Smith Treasurer, Chas. Hargreaves Secretary, Geo. Sykes P.M. D.C., B. Oxley, W. H. Cook S.D., E. Calverley J.D., J. W.

The proceedings were commenced by the assembly singing the hymn " All people that on earth do dwell." The Lodge was then opened by the R.W. Brother Thomas William Tew, J.P., Deputy Grand Master of the Province, and Senior Grand Deacon of the Grand Lodge of England. The Provincial Grand Chaplain offered up prayer, and read a portion of Scripture from 2 Chronicles ii., and after solemn music, the Provincial Grand Secretary read the petition for dedication. The Provincial Grand Registrar addressed the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, and asked him to dedicate the hall, and on the request having been acceded to, the Provincial Grand Secretary called upon the Worshipful Master for the warrants of constitution, minute book, and bye-laws of the Lodge No. 2035. The Provincial Grand Superintendent of Works examined the appointments of the Lodge, and reported that all was correct. An anthem, commencing "Behold how good and joyful a thing it is, brethren, to dwell together in unity," was sung by Bros. Blagbro, Joe Wood, Joe Varley, and Garner, after which the Provincial Grand Chaplain read a portion of I Kings viii., and offered the first portion of the dedication prayer. A lengthy ceremonial of consecration and dedication of the Lodge room was then gone through.

Bro. T. W. Tew afterwards gave the following address: BRETHREN,
The institution and the dedication of the 67th Lodge in this Province, and of the 2035th Lodge of the roll of the Grand Lodge of England, is, I hope, a Masonic event of such importance as to merit a few brief but customary observations on the consecration of a new Lodge, under the jurisdiction of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Henry Edwards, our beloved and popular Provincial Grand Master, This occasion which, I hope, bas been an interesting one, may be also deemed a suitable opportunity for allusion to the circumstances which have brought about an application for a new warrant for this Lodge, now called the Beaumont Lodge, at Kirkburton. A record of Masonic work in this Province since 1822, when there were but 19 Lodges in the then constituted Province of West Yorkshire, must abound in both pleasing episodes as well as melancholy reminiscenses of the operative and speculative labours of great and good Masons who have gone to their eternal home-let us hope in tho Grand Lodge above-and a faithful chronicler has not only the gratification of enlarging on the increase of the Lodges and the career of the Craft in West Yorkshire, but he is bound to allude to those incidents which have almost every year cast a gloom over its progress, and tinged the harmony of its advancement and affection amongst us with sorrowful reflections. " We have rejoiced with those who do rejoice," and we have " mourned with those who weep." The Craft has within the period since 1823 taken a large and benevolent part in aiding all kinds of charitable and useful institutions. It has also never been slack in tendering homage where homage was due, or testifying its sympathies to the memory of friends and relatives of departed worth—as in the death of the late Bishop of Ripon-or, as its Charity Committee can record, putting its principles to the test by the practice of the most liberal charity, which virtue is inculcated upon us in every step we take in the different degrees, and "blesses him that gives as well as him that receives." Our last Charity Report speaks of facts which need no farther comment, of the number of recipients of our bounty, and of those young orphans who look up to the Lodges as their guardians, and those Freemasons whom unavoidable circumstances have reduced to the lowest depths of poverty and despair, who regard us as the comforters of old age. The records, then, of West Yorkshire Freemasonry present a history of the brethren in their Lodges, having provoked one another unto charity and to good works—a charity ever willing to put itself to inconvenience for the benefit of others.
"Love, generosity, kindness, magnanimity, toleration and forgiveness," "are the virtues of tho Freemason's belief, and are the things of which West Yorkshire Freemasonry may well he proud in its history of the past 60 years." May I hope that West Yorkshire Freemasonry presents to our minds a stately and superb edifice, whose superstructure has been built on humanity's best, on a true perception of humanity's needs, on a devout humility to render ourselves more extensively serviceable to our follow creatures, and an eager acceptance to estimate the wonderful works of the Almighty Creator, the ready acceptance of Jehovah's work in man and through man? If we today have built this Lodge & corner stone into the great building of the Craft, like a foundation stone in Solomon's Temple, and will trust in the same and become chief corner stone in Kirkburton of the “wisdom”, the "strength”, and the "beauty" of Masonic worth and excellence, for life is one and indivisible. Brethren, take your stand on "The Rock of Ages." Stand like a building founded on a rock, and share its strength, so that you shall be part of the living temple of Jehovah. Kirkburton is an historical civil parish. Moorhouse's history of this parish is full of archaeological love respecting it. It is the old civil parish of the townships of Kirkburton, Shelley, Shepley, Fulstone, Hepworth, Thurstonland, Cartworth, and Wooldale, and which embraces a large part of Holmfirth, including the old church there.
Kirkburton township proper has & population of about 3,000, and the industry of the place is chiefly manufacturing cloth. Woodsome Hall, the seat of the Earl of Dartmouth, is about two miles distant, and Storthes Hall, now tenanted by Bro. B. Lockwood, No. 275, is a mile distant from the place where we are now assembled. The ancient Parish Church of Kirkburton - where we are shortly to assemble, and where divine service will be celebrated by the Provincial Grand Chaplains, and the sermon preached by Bro. the Rev. P. F. J. Pearce. Chaplains, and the sermon preached by Bro. the Rev. P. F. J. Pearce, Provincial Grand Chaplain, the vicar of St. Paul's, Huddersfield - is an edifice of interest to all of us. The chain Bible, &c., are there. Its registers date back from the year 1512, and are in excellent preservation. Indeed, it is said there are only 19 other parishes through-out England where the registers go so far back, and are so well preserved. The father of the present vicar died about two years ago at the age of 87, having officiated there for a period of 45 years. I am told that the Rev. R. Collins - a scholar and antiquarian - the present vicar, is to be one of the first initiated into the "Beaumont" Lodge, as well as a goodly number of gentlemen of standing in the surrounding districts which I have catalogued. The parish clerk is the father of Bro. William Fitton, of Moldgreen, Huddersfield, & brother well known and respected by all the Craft. The parish clerk is alive and well, and we shall see him in God's house this afternoon. The old schoolmaster, Mr. A. Hargreaves, was the father of Bro. C. Hargreaves, the indefatigable Secretary of the Beaumont Lodge. The shortly to be invested Worshipful Master of No. 2035, Bro. William Schofield, is already a Past Master and & Past Provincial Grand Pursuivant of West Yorkshire. He was educated at the Kirkburton Grammar School, as also were Bro. Fitton and Bro. Hargreaves, and all of them under the tuition of the late Mr. A. Hargreaves. Bro. Stocks, the first J.W., has been about 13 years & member of the Huddersfield Lodge.
Bro. Barnicot, also one of the founders of this Lodge, is a large employer of labour in this district, and Bro. R. Senior is a member of the eminent firm of Seth, Senior and Sons, of Shepley. Bro. Past Master George Sykes, of this town, and Bro. Fitton were both founders of the Albert Edward Lodge which I consecrated 12th December 1878, and of which Bro. T. Rod. dock was the first Worshipful Master. These brethren have done good service to Masonry throughout Huddersfield district, and this Provincial Grand Lodge of West Yorkshire is much indebted to them for their exertions. I could mention other names, such as Bros. W. H Jessop and Allen Jackson, both Past Masters of Lodge 521, and Bro. Field, W.M., of the Wharncliffe Lodge, all supporters or founders of the Beaumont Lodge. The founders have called their new Lodge after, and as a compliment to, Mr. Beaumont, of Whitley Hall, about three miles from here.
He is not a Mason, but deserves well of the Craft for his gift of 21 acres of land for a public park at Huddersfield, and the hospitable manner in which he entertained the late lamented Duke of the Beaumont Lodge. Tho founders have called their new Lodge after, and as a compliment to, Mr. Beaumont, of Whitley Hall, about three miles from here. He is not a Mason, but deserves well of the Craft for his gift of 21 acres of land for a public park at Huddersfield, and the hospitable manner in which he entertained the late lamented Duke of Albany and the Duchess on the memorable occasion of their visit to Huddersfield in October last to open the Beaumont Park, and inspect the Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition, and to receive an address of welcome from the Freemasons of West York, Although Mr. Beaumont is abroad, yet it is hoped that some day he may join the Beaumont Lodge and receive that further compliment of the Mason's badge which is more ancient than the "Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, more honourable than the Star and Garter or any other der in existence." Under these promising auspices the Provincial Grand Master thought fit to recommend the petition for a warrant for a new Lodge at Kirkburton, and I am assured by the founders it has the good-will and support of all the Lodges in Huddersfield, and that the Beaumont Lodge, No. 2035, at Kirkburton, will prove an acquisition both to Masonry and also to the district in which it in placed. This Lodge then is surrounded by ancient Masonic traditions. These are your grand treasures. The first is the tradition of knowledge.

The lecture of tho first degree - the cultivation and improvement of the mind. The charge and the lecture of the second degree, " The study of the liberal arts and sciences," which tend so effectually to polish and adorn the mind, and "the perseverance of every commendable virtue." The third degree invites us to reflect on the solemn subject of death, and teaches us that to the just, perfect, and upright man death has no terror equal to the stain of dishonour and falsehood, but to look upon dissolution as the end of afflictions and the entrance to a holy and pure life in the Grand Lodge above. Another treasure is that of opportunity - the opportunity of doing good to others - opportunity a treasure like the manna of Israel; you can have no more than your share; you cannot gather it but at the moment when the sun and the dew are bright and fresh upon it; you cannot accumulate it, but you can dispense it. It is to do good the bread and staff of a Lodge And another treasure there is - the treasure of association. It is a treasure for the living. It is to enjoy the fall and intense vitality of a pure life; to seek the fullest cultivation of the powers of mint and boy; to be roused to self-sacrifice and devotion, and to think it a duty to aim high, to walk in the footsteps of tho patriarchs and prophets of old, to revere the wisdom of Solomon, to comprehend his character, and to imitate his lofty virtues. Truly believed and sincerely noted on, our traditions and associations would justify the value we set upon our Lodges. But were it otherwise that the four earthly treasures of "knowledge," of "tradition," of "opportunity," and of “association," were to be forgotten and neglected, and Lodges to substitute carelessness, idleness, banquet extravagance, ignorance of ceremonies, and disobedience to the authority of tho chair, then it would be better to return the warrant to the supreme authority, and let your Lodge, as greater institutions have done before it, go into grey and honourable oblivion. But, Brethren, I believe your work will be wrought with diligence, and rendered with cheerfulness, your faces bright with the oil of gladness, yet bold with the wine of cheerfulness, and that, " breast to breast, knee to knee, foot to foot," and lot the grasp of your hands be firm and generous.
You will seek "purity of action;" "truth," that your speech may be simple and clear; "love,” that your friendship may sound, and that the brotherhood and the Craft may be to you no shadow, but a Masonic reality. But that these things may be, place your right hand on the volume of the sacred law, and with the compass in the other, fix your eye and heart on its sacred teachings, for there is no treasure like its own treasure, and its mysteries veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols, unravelled and loved, and liked and practised. Brethren, you have in your ancient Church the symbol of the mystery of salvation-an ancient cross.
The middle stone lay in the vicarage garden for twenty years before the other two places came to light. The middle piece was embedded in the rabble when the east chancel wall was taken down in 1850 and rebuilt. All the pieces belong to one cross, and the subject is "The Crucifixion." These old walls must have been built before 1300. This cross was perhaps set up with prayer in the ninth century, and adorned an older and more primitive structure. It is a gritty freestone abounding in the neighbourhood of the Farnley or Greenside rock, and easily carved. The figure on the cross has been a body erect, living - the head upright, the arms extended at right angles. It represents the "Son of Righteousness" nailed to the tree. We shall see this ancient symbol of the Christian faith shortly. It symbolises the revelation of the genuine secrets of a Master Mason.
To look up to it, to believe in it and the story it unfolds, the story of the Cross is not only true Christianity, but true Mansonry. But the lapse of time warns me to cease, and with the expression of fervent gratitude to the G.A.O.T.U., who hath in the past protected our ancient and time-honoured fraternity, and the sincere prayer that He will continue to watch over the Craft and this new Lodge as a means of doing good in this neighbourhood by brotherly intercourse and affection, with hearty good wises to all present, I offer my congratulations for the progress and prosperity of the Beaumont Lodge, No. 2035, on the roll of the Grand Lodge of England. On the conclusion of the address the anthem " Hail, Masonry sublime," was sung.
The brethren, whose regalia was draped, then formed in procession from the Beaumont Lodge, No. 2035, to St. John's Parish Church. An organ voluntary was played by Bro. J. Marshall as the brethren passed up the nave to their seats. The service was conducted by the Rev. W. T. M. Sylvester, M.A., Rector of Castleford; the lessons being read by the Rev. Canon Bullock, M.A., of Holy Trinity, Leeds; an appropriate sermon was preached by Bro. the Rev. Y'. F.J. Pearce, P.P.G.C., who took for his text 1 St. Peter, ii. 17_" Fear God," and Job i. 9-" Doth Job fear God for nought?" The rev. gentleman said - In the limited time during which I have any right to attempt to hold your attention, it is quite out of my power to give with accuracy and clearness even a superficial statement of the character and objects, and of the various and valuable principles which constitute the truth and glory of Freemasonry. It may also be well that I should at once say that to a general assembly like this it is outside my wish and intention to make any distinct references to the secret practices of the Order. I am not placed here in any way to gratify the inquisitiveness of those who from mere curiosity are desirous to get some insight into what we, as Freemasons, regard as great and invaluable secrets. This pulpit is too responsible a position to the preacher and the glorious old Church and the Holy worship, in which we have all seemed so heartily to join, are too sacred and solemnising to allow of any utterance other than those which have as their distinct motive and object the glory of God and the best welfare of men. And yet with such proper restrictions I am justified in briefly answering, and I shall be expected to answer, some of the very many natural questions which have already risen to the lips of those who know that to-day a Masonic Lodge has been consecrated in this ancient village, and have seen our imposing procession to the kirk, and joined with us here in on solemn worship of the Great Architect and Ruler of the Universe, I hear such ask what is Freemasonry? Who originated it, and when? What does it teach? At what does it aim? Who may be and are Freemasons? And I briefly answer that Freemasonry is a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols; that it had its origin in a far distant age, its essential features being traced back to the earliest days, and known and followed by the enlightened and religions in every generation. Its teaching is that of the Holy Scriptures, and while it eschews all religions, as it does all political, controversies in the convocations of its adherents, it yet teaches the highest theology, and insists on those principles of justice, equity, mercy, and truth, without which humane and wise government would be impossible. It aims at making its followers patriots, and to live in amity with all men, furthering by all means their good and just rights. It inculcates strongly the value and virtues of fraternity; demands the possession and exhibition of religion both in its godward and manward aspects; and insists upon loyalty as well as love, submission to the powers that be as real as the exercise of charity towards all men. It says with great meaning and emphasis - Honour all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honour the King." And it receives into its ranks only those who are proclaimed to be, and known to be just and upright freemen, of mature age, sound judgment, and strict morals; asserting that no man, whether initiated into the mysteries of the Craft or not, can rightly bear the title of a Free and Accepted Master Mason who does not in the best sense of the words exhibit the character of a man who fears God. If this be considered & very high estimate, I can only say it is that which I have gathered from the unwritten lectures and the ceremonies of our splendid ritual, and if it be objected that some initiates belie it and give an entirely opposite impression of the teaching and influence of Freemasonry, I am justified in saying that such men are not Freemasons at all, never having received or entered into the true obligations and spirit of its principles and vows. That a terrible responsibility rest upon all such every Freemason knows, and by such reprobated conduct they do the brotherhood as much harm as the mere professors of Christianity, who deny their professions by their lives, do to the church of God. Now, to some extent from the evil lives of such unworthy members of the Order, and to some also from the ill-conceived and unjust criticisms which hare been unsparingly launched against the Fraternity by its ignorant and prejudice opponents, it has come about that many persons regard Freemasons' Lodges simply as places for excessive and expensive eating and drinking, and Freemasons themselves as existing for no other higher end than personal enjoyment.This is utterly untrue of the brethren as a whole, and if true in any particular instances, it is because our purposes and principles have been set at defiance. Brotherly love, relief and truth, faith, hope, charity, purity, peace, and godliness, these are our watchwords, these our aims, these our ambitions.
And they must be so until the Order dies, and may she die when these cease to be so! You will see, there-fore, that a true Freemason must be both a godly and unselfish man, unselfish in the sense in which every Christian man is called upon to be so. For a Freemason is a man who " fears God" - that is to say, lives & religions life by serving God and man, and while love to God is its spring and motive, and His glory its supreme object, yet he looks for personal advantage. He fears God. He serves God. He looks for reward. The criticism of the outside world, like Satan's sneer against Job, has much truth in it; we do not fear God and serve Him for nought. He does not expect us to do so. But the criticism, like the sneer of on great enemy, has a lurking lie in it, for what it means to say is that we simply and only serve God for what we can get. The rev. gentleman enlarged upon these thoughts, and showed that it was Freemasonry and religion, which he considered to be one and the same thing under different names, secured to its faithful disciples, and he closed his sermon thus: "Let me urge you, my brethren, to aim more than ever to vindicate your right to your name and privileges. Study more closely the principles of the Order, more nearly copy its eminent examples, foster its spirit, develop its intentions. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood, Fear God. Honour the King."

A collection was made at the end of the service, in aid of the Day Schools, which realised £11 15s 3d.

After the service the brethren again formed procession, but in reverse order, the senior Lodges lending back to the Beaumont Lodge. On reaching the Lodge room, Bro. W. Schofield was installed as W.M., and tho Wardens and other Officers invested, The Deputy Provincial Grand Master then closed the Provincial Lodge, Bro. Marshall P.P.G.O., playing on the harmonium appropriate music. A large number of gentlemen were proposed for initiation.

A banquet afterwards took place in the Girls' School-room, where upwards of 100 brethren sat down; and the usual toasts were given and duly responded to. The School-room had been profusely decorated by Mesers. Senior and Yardley, of John William street, Huddersfield, and the tables and windows were filled with choice flowering plants, kindly lent by Chas. Hey, Esq., and others. The collation, which was a cold one, was provided in an excellent style by Mr. David Thornton, of the Royal Hotel.

The first meeting for the formation of the Beaumont Lodge was held on the 8th December 1883, and the following is a list of the founders: --Bros, John Barnicott M.M: 275, Reben Senior MI.M. 1462, Benjamin Oxley J.W, 1783, William Schofield W.M.

GENERAL HISTORY

The Beaumont Lodge itself was consecrated in 1884 and was the 61st Lodge in the Province of Yorkshire West Riding, and this building, purpose built as a Masonic Hall, was dedicated in 1889.
Three other names for our Lodge had been considered: DARTMOUTH, ALBANY and ST JOHNS. The latter being the name of Kirkburton Parish Church until it was re-named as the now All Hallows. Dartmouth was favoured but the Earl of Dartmouth did not reply to the invitation, soBeaumont was chosen.
Henry Frederick Beaumont who agreed to our use of his Family Name and Arms was Initiated into the Lodge in 1889 and his son Henry Ralph in 1890. Neither was to progress to the Chair of the Lodge. Henry Ralph succeeded to the Manor on the death of Henry Frederick in 1913. He never occupied
Whitley Hall thus this branch of the family became extinct in the male line on his death in 1948.
Both these gentlemen have entries in Who's Who which lists their interests as hunting, shooting and fishing. Which makes them sound a bit like Playboys - nothing could be further from the truth and you might be
interested in their CVs:

Henry Frederick Beaumont. JP, DLit:
Born 1833. Died (Ascot) 1913, aged 80 years
Educated Eton and Cambridge.
Succeeded to the Manor of Whitley 1857
Founded W. R. Volunteer Battalion of Rifles (Hon. Colonel).
MP. (Lib) 1865-74 W.R. Southern Div.- later Dep.L. 1885-92 Coine Valley Div.

Married Maria Johanna Jarforth of Wigtonthorpe (York) 1857
Issue 1 son. 8 daughters. Twice entertained royalty at Whitley Hall
Initiated into Beaumont Lodge in 1889 (JW 1890 - somewhat rapid promotion!)

So, what trace of the Beaumont's of Whitley Hall remain?

1. The forlorn site of Whitley Hall and Black Dicks Tower on Lepton Edge.
2. The Beaumont Chapel in Kirk Heaton Church.
3. Two inns named Beaumont. One in Kirkheaton the other South
Crosland.
4. Nine street names in Huddersfield and district.
5. The beautiful Beaumont Park donated to the town by Henry Frederick in
1883. Where a diligent search will reveal statues of him, and his wife
rescued from Whitley Hall.
6. And of course, this Masonic Lodge No. 2035.

Conclusion. There is in our archives much more on the ancestry of the
Beaumont family and a modern translation of the Beaumont Manuscript,
should any Brother wish to know more.
