A Full Day of Ceremony and Celebration for the Breedon & Cloud Hill Assemblage

The Masonic Hall in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, was a hive of activity on 19 February 2026 as members and guests of the Breedon & Cloud Hill Assemblage gathered for a full day of ceremonial work and fellowship.

The Worshipful Society of Free Masons, Rough Masons, Wallers, Slaters, Pavoirs, Plaisterers and Bricklayers, more commonly known as The Operatives, assembled to conduct a 7th Degree Ceremony, an Arch Degree Ceremony, and a First Degree Ceremony to welcome a newly Indentured Apprentice.

Adding further distinction to an already significant day, the Assemblage was honoured by the presence of all three Grand Master Masons: Paul Mycock, Ray Ellis, and Graham Flight. Each took an active role in the proceedings, contributing to the smooth and dignified delivery of the work.

Later in the evening, the First Degree was conferred upon Carl Ackers. On this occasion, David Coley, who would usually lead the Assemblage, graciously invited Ray Ellis to take the Chair for the ceremony.

The day concluded in fine style with a superb Festive Board, expertly prepared and served by the team at the Lutterworth Masonic Hall, bringing to a close a memorable and highly successful gathering.
