The Revd George Adam Browne (1774 - 1843)
Acting Provincial Grand Master 1825 - 1843)
Revd George Adam Browne (1774 - 1843)The minutes of the Cambridge New Lodge records the initiation of the Revd Browne on 16th March 1796 with the following words;
"Geo: A. Browne Esq. was made a Mason in due form being first admitted as an Entered Apprentice and then Passed Fellow Craft".
He remained a Fellow Craft until 25th February 1797, when he "... was admitted Master Mason in due form ..." in a 'Special Lodge of Masters' at the Red Lyon in Petty Cury. - However, at his next visit, he was still a 'visitor', finally being elected a member on 2nd April 1806 - 10 years after his Initiation.
Many believe that Brown was instrumental in the revision and regularising of the Royal Arch ritual in 1834, largely because he was acting 1st Principal at the special Convocation in that year, after which the revised ceremonies were issued by Supreme Grand Chapter in 1835.
