Months -February, April, June and September (18:00).
Consecrated 15th September 2012 at Minehead.

Watchet has been the home of Quantock Lodge No.4446 since its consecration in 1922. The fact that the Lodge did not have a Royal Arch Chapter was remedied when the Chapter was consecrated in 2012, becoming the youngest in the Province at that time.

We dine downstairs on the premises. Access is step free with a lift to the first floor temple.

Master Masons have continued to ‘find’ and enjoy the Chapter, and all are most welcome to join or just visit as a Companion to enjoy the well known ‘Watchet Workings’ and atmosphere ! “

Brief History

Saturday the 15^th September 2012 proved to be a pleasant autumn day as Royal Arch Companions made their way to Minehead where Convocation of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Somerset was to be held to consecrate the new Chapter. At 10.30 am the Founding Companions and the Provincial Officers of the Consecration Team met for their one and only rehearsal. With the final preparations complete the Companions were treated to an excellent buffet lunch. By 2.30 pm the founding companions and visitors were assembled in the Chapter Room and shortly afterwards the Distinguished Guests and Grand Officers, including E Comp. Denis Calderley, Past Grand Superintendent and E Comp Stanley Hopkins Past Grand Scribe Nehemiah,  entered in procession and took their places.

The Grand Superintendent, in and over, the Province of Somerset, E Comp D John Bennett, the Second Provincial Grand Principal E Comp Robert H Moore and the Third Provincial Grand Principal E Comp Richard J Ellis were escorted into the Chapter by the Officers of Provincial Grand Chapter. The Convocation was opened at 3 pm and the ceremony began with the First Principal designate, E Comp Keith J Lockyer, informing the Grand Superintendent that a Charter of Constitution to form a Chapter of Royal Arch Mason at Watchet had been granted. He then, on behalf of the petitioners, formally requested the Grand Superintendent to consecrate the Quantock Chapter and appoint and invest the Officers
