Axstane Preceptory of St. John Jerusalem Installation Meeting

On Tuesday 25th of April 2023 Axstane Preceptory of St. John Jerusalem No.373 installed Kt. Richard James Salvidge as a Knight Templar in an excellent manner.

The Eminent Preceptor Robert Frederick Blair conducted the first half of the ceremony and E.Kt. Stuart Gray conducted the second, E.Kt. Dennis Brown gave the charge to the Candidate and E.Kt. Kevin Johnson gave the explanation of the Symbols all in a thoughtful and superb manner. The Provincial Prior’s bodyguard formed an arch of steel for the Eminent Preceptor to be paraded into and out of the temple.

The resident Knight teddy bear observed the ceremony from the sidelines and I am sure approved of the work carried out by the Preceptory.
