Welcome to another Masonic year

Provincial Grand Master R.W.Bro. Gary Hicks A warm welcome to the website of the Mark Province of Dyfed, which covers the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

We hope that this website will be of interest to not only Freemasons but also to those who are intrigued and want to find out more.

The Mark Degree in Freemasonry, which greatly enhances the Craft Masons’ understanding of operative masonry, has been practised in the three counties for many years with our oldest Mark Lodge being established in 1870.

We currently have 12 Mark Lodges and 6 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges meeting at various centres throughout the Province.

The Province is governed by the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of England and Wales and its Districts and Lodges Overseas and is presided over by the Provincial Grand Master Right Worshipful Brother Gary Hicks, assisted by Deputy Provincial Grand Master Worshipful Brother Martin Lowe.

The Province is very active, bringing much pleasure and friendship to all its members.

Mark is known by its members as the “friendly degree”.

R.W.Bro. Gary Hicks, Provincial Grand Master
