29th May – VIP visitor to Gilbert de Lacy Preceptory!
Gilbert de Lacy – the newest Preceptory in the Province, were humbled to receive not only the Provincial Prior – Right Eminent Knight Hearl R. Lenton MBE, and the Provincial Prior of Nottinghamshire, but honoured to receive the Most High and Right Eminent the Great Seneschal Andrew Christopher Rainbow (unofficially). It was a wonderful evening seeing the installation of a new Bro. Knight.
The ceremony was followed by an excellent festive board and a very rare occasion when not only was toast number 3 was given informally…but was responded to.
If the evening couldn’t get any more special…at the end of the Festive Board the Provincial Prior of the Province of Nottinghamshire, presented our Provincial Prior a long and very much lost Warrant to a Preceptory now gone. Full story to appear shortly…but picture below of the framed Warrant being presented.
