Arrangements for the consecration proceeded and duly recorded in the Minutes of the meeting held at John of Gaunt Lodge dated 15th January 1885.  Provincial Grand Lodge convened a Special meeting at the Masonic Hall, Halford Street, Leicester on Monday 16th February 1885 and W.Bro. Samuel Partridge (Dept.P.G.M. acting as P.G.M.). Solemnly consecrated the Lodge in ancient form.

Over the next 25 years the Lodge continued to meet at the Masonic Hall in Halford Street and was shared with four other Lodges meeting in Leicester, namely St. Johns, John of Gaunt, Commercial and Albert Edward. By the turn of the century, the numbers had grown noticeably. All this prompted a Resolution to purchase alternative premises and this present site at “London Road” was purchased in 1906 for £2,500. By 1910 the building in its form was completed and furnished at the further cost of £9,500.

On 25th April 1910 the building was consecrated by the M.W.Pro. Grand Master Lord Ampthill. In the same month the Lodge resolved to hold all future meetings here and ever since we have had the privilege to have the use of the magnificent Holmes Temple.

In 1885 the Lodge produced a membership of 30, after 25 years and moving to London Road the membership trebled to 83. Many ceremonies in that period involved multiple candidates. Immediately after the First and the Second World Wars the lodge membership exceeded 120. Such multiple ceremonies still continued for some twenty years after the Second World War. The last occasion when a double ceremony occurred in the Lodge was on the 15th March 1971, when Bro’s. Michael and Paul Kind were initiated together, the charge given to them by their father W.Bro. Cyril Kind, the Lodge Secretary.

• The Jason Lodge No.7716 was consecrated on the 30th November 1960.
• The Lodge of the Argonauts No.8210 was consecrated on the 5th March 1968.
• A petition was approved in January 1985 for the Leicestershire and Rutland Rotary Lodge No.9158 to be consecrated later in the year. W.Bro. P. Bickley was the First Master.
