Quatuor Coronati
The Lodge was founded in 1884 by nine Brethren* who were intent using on an evidence-based approach to the study of masonic history and research into freemasonry. This innovative approach was intended to replace the imaginative writings of earlier authors on the history of freemasonry. This new style and approach was later to be referred to as the ‘authentic school’ of masonic research.
