Brother Terence Taylor has been exalted into the Royal Arch, becoming the newest Companion of Lumley Chapter, writes Simon Noden.
His journey from Entered Apprentice to Master Mason has now reached its natural completion in the Royal Arch – the place where the Craft’s story deepens, and the bonds of fellowship grow stronger.
The Royal Arch is described as the essence and completion of pure Ancient Masonry. For Terence, this exaltation is not just a step forward, but a transformation—embracing the light, legacy, and tradition that the Royal Arch reveals.
The path from Brother to Companion is open to every Master Mason. When you have completed your Third Degree, the Royal Arch awaits—ready to enrich your Masonic journey with meaning, fellowship, and discovery at the time that’s right for you.
