Who are we?
We are John George Gibson Royal Arch Chapter and we were consecrated way back in 1909. We have an intriguing history being linked and named after one of our founding members the Reverend John George Gibson a well-respected Masonic Historian of his time who served as Rector of St Ebba Church in Ebchester, County Durham from 1895 – 1911.
Today the Chapter is continuing in the steps of many illustrious Companions in upholding the traditions and principles which offer all Freemasons the experience of belonging to, and being part of, a well-respected forward-thinking organisation.
What we do
John George Gibson Royal Arch Chapter is a friendly group of Companions from varying backgrounds and age groups who pride themselves on being helpful and mindful of what their members want out of their respective membership.
Why join us?
We offer all Freemasons the opportunity to complete their knowledge of pure ancient freemasonry in a friendly and welcoming environment and to be part of the extended fraternity of masons who wish to increase their experience of the friendship beyond that of their respective Lodges.
