At Chingford Masonic Hall, London E4 on 24th January 2026, Essex Lodge Old Parkonians No 4709 conducted the double Passing Ceremony of Bros Vladislav Craciun and Alessandro Ciappei on behalf of London Lodge Coburn No 1804. Both Lodges hold their regular meetings at Chingford.
Over 70 hungry members and guests, including strong support from Coburn Lodge members, then tucked into a wonderful lunch within the Hall. Chingford Masonic Association holds an annual Widows Christmas Lunch, held at the Chingford Masonic Hall, aiming to host the widows, and a chaperone, of the Metropolitan and Essex Lodges and Chapters who meet at Chingford. In recent years, the Brethren of Coborn have made an annual and significant financial donation towards the Widows Christmas Lunch.
