Wycombe Lodge No 1501 is the first Lodge in South Bucks
The Lodge was consecrated on July 1, 1874, at the Town Hall in High Wycombe, emerging as a daughter lodge of Windsor Castle Lodge No. 771. At its inception, Wycombe Lodge was part of the then-combined Province of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, making it the first Lodge to be established in South Buckinghamshire. The consecration and installation ceremonies were led by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Berks and Bucks, the Rev., and VW Bro. J. Studholme Brownrigg.
The banner of Wycombe Lodge prominently features the 'Buckinghamshire Swan' at its core, symbolising its affiliation with Buckinghamshire within the combined province. Acacia and possibly beech sprigs surround the square and compasses in the center of this emblem. The acacia represents Masonic symbolism, traditionally marking the grave's head of the esteemed Grand Master H.A., guiding the Craft's Fellows to discover the burial site of the three infamous ruffians. The beech, on the other hand, is noted for its use in crafting gavels. The banner's light blue background is a common choice in Masonic banners, signifying loyalty and truth. Above the swan motif, the Lodge’s name and number are elegantly displayed in a scroll pattern, with the entire banner framed by a delicate blue and gold fringe, reflecting the Lodge's distinguished status and heritage.
