Trip to London made installation a Joyce family affair

January 17, 2026

John Joyce and son Adrian went to London to see Adrian’s brother Steven go into the Chair for the first time after 27 years in the Craft.

All three are members of Ancholme Lodge in Brigg, where Steven had been initiated 27 years ago almost to the day.

He’s now Master of his London Lodge, Earl of Mornington 2000, which meets at Furniture Makers Hall.

Adrian said: “It was a great night, and wonderful to share it with Dad.”
