Discover the Royal Arch

Continue your journey and discover more

Every Master Mason should aspire to continue their journey from Initiation in the Craft to Exaltation as a Companion in the Royal Arch.

When the Antient and Modern Grand Lodges came together to form the United Grand Lodge of England in 1813, they declared that ‘Pure Antient Masonry’ consists of three degrees – the Entered Apprentice, the Fellow Craft, and the Master Mason, including the Royal Arch.

In the Province of Oxfordshire, we are keen that all Master Masons get to enjoy the Royal Arch, whether you are an Oxfordshire Craft Mason or a member elsewhere. We have many thriving Royal Arch Chapters that are ready to welcome new Companions. 

If you haven’t already, take a read of our ‘The Royal Arch Discover More’ Guide below. When you are ready to continue your journey reach out to the Royal Arch Membership Team or your Lodge Royal Arch Rep.
