The Burlington Lodge No. 3975 was consecrated in 1919, shortly after the conclusion of the First World War. Â Along with many other lodges formed at this time, the Burlington Lodge was conceived out of a need to accommodate the large influx of new members, who, having endured the many hardships of the war, were keen to retain the friendship and camaraderie forged in the trenches. Â It is therefore a daughter lodge of Londesborough Lodge No. 734.
Burlington is the Mother Lodge of Bridlington’s most celebrated Freemason, namely Right Worshipful Brother Iain Ross-Bryce, DL, TD.
Rt. W. Bro. Bryce rose to the exalted position of Deputy Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England between 1991-94, having been the Provincial Grand Master of the Province of Yorkshire, north and East Ridings from 1984 to 1991.
Regrettably, Iain passed to the Grand Lodge Above in July 2015.
