Welcome to the website for the District Grand Council of Royal & Select Masters in Surrey....

Sometimes known as “The Cryptic Degree”, our fascinating Masonic Order refers to the steps taken by King Solomon to safeguard the treasures of his Temple at Jerusalem, by building a secret underground vault in which they could be hidden in times of trouble. 

For existing members of our wonderful Order, I hope you find this website interesting and a useful source for information about the Surrey District.

For those considering joining, I hope the website encourages you to find out more about us.  

If you are a Master Mason, and a Companion of the Holy Royal Arch, you have discovered “the completion of pure and ancient freemasonry”.

If you are a Mark Master Mason, you have discovered its beginning.

Combining the two, you are now qualified for membership of this most enlightening of Masonic Orders, so why not discover the whole story? 

Thank you for visiting our website. 

R. Ill. Companion Bill Caughie 
District Grand Master for Surrey
