Freemasonry is the largest fund-raiser
for Charity after the National Lottery in
the UK. Our Lodge raised £10,000 back
in 2004 to help convert the Manor for
Phab week guests.
The three who took part were Richard
Price (1991-1996), Peter Cox (1958-1961)
and Jeremy Gaskell (1957-1959).
Richard graduated from the
University of Leeds in 1999 and is a
surveyor by profession. He has worked
for a number of firms, currently being
an Associate Partner with Green
and Partners, as a retail warehouse
specialist. Richard married Lucy
Bickmore onMay 18th. He is a member
of both our Lodge and Chapter.
Peter is a Chartered Accountant and
has spent all of his professional life
in Hertfordshire. Highlights include
working for Sir Elton John and Graham
Taylor at Watford Football Club,
running the LondonMarathon and
trekking half way up Annapurna in the
Himalayas (both for charity). Peter was
initiated into Freemasonry in 1979 and
is a senior Mason in several orders in
the Province of Hertfordshire, as well as
heading the Sir Thomas White Chapter
this year. He is married to Yonna.
Jeremy joinedWestminster Bank
(later NatWest) in 1960, and worked
at many branches in London and the
provinces. He was made redundant in
1995 and has dealt in old stamps and
postcards since. A keen Freemason,
he is a member of many Lodges and
Chapters, and holds a number of high
offices in London. He has twice been
Master of our Lodge and twice of the
Chapter. He is married to Nina.

The Sir Thomas White Lodge is a

they were wearing their full Masonic
regalia, a most unusual occurrence,
and carrying banners promoting the
charitable work that Freemasonry
does. They walked through the
streets of London from LondonWall
to Aldwych and back again, and
by doing so, raised sponsorship of
