The Lodge of St. Mary sponsored by the Lodge of Good Fellowship No 276 and was consecrated on Tuesday 14^th. June 1870 by the Provincial Grand Master of Essex, R.W. Bro. R. J. Bagshaw. During the ceremony W.Bro. Arthur Goodchild was duly installed as the Lodge’s first Worshipful Master.

During its early years the Lodge met in several different places – mainly the White Hart Hotel - but subsequently purchased its own hall in New Street in 1897.

The Howard Hall was later built and dedicated on Saturday 21^st. April 1934, by R.W.Bro. R. Beale Colvin, Lord Lieutenant of Essex. It was erected through the benefaction of Bro. J. B. Howard who, in his will, bequeathed to the Lodge a generous sum for the purpose of building and furnishing a Masonic Temple, to be afterwards called “The Howard Hall”.

The Lodge of St. Mary was sponsored by the Lodge of Good Fellowship No 276 and has, itself, subsequently sponsored five other Lodges namely Rosslyn No.1543, Joshua Nunn No. 2154, Cromwell No. 6971, Thomas Paycocke No. 8200 and United Fairways No. 9094.

The Lodge is now an integral part of the Howard Hall Club which is run on a strictly business footing with an elected Chairman and committee. The committee is responsible to all lodges and degrees for the day-to-day administration of the building and its facilities.
