    The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons

A women's masonic Fraternity

Women and Freemasonry - The Centenary 

This exhibition at the Library and Museum at Great Queen Street, ran from 4th June to 19th December 2008 and was considered to be a great success.

The image used to promote this exhibition is of Wor Bro Phyllis Sutton Vane, who was Grand Sword Bearer in the 1930's. When I came across the photo of Phyllis, looking so stern and yet so glamorous I knew that she would make excellent PR material and luckily the Curator of the Museum, Diane Clements, agreed with me.

Members of HFAF were invited to a preview of the Exhibition as were members of OWF and Co-Masonry and the Grand Lodge of Freemasonry for Men and Women.
