Knight Alan Wright
27 October 1947 – 18 March 2021
It is with great sadness that the Provincial Priory reports the passing of Kt Alan Wright of Templar Segedunum Preceptory.
Alan was initiated into Freemasonry in Sandyford Lodge No 6934 on 4th October 2006.
Three years later he became a joining member of George Stephenson Lodge No 3390 and, after passing through the senior officers’ posts, he became Master of the Lodge in 2014.
He was exalted into the Royal Arch in Chapter De Sussex No 406 in November 2007 but three years later transferred to George Stephenson Chapter No 3390, remaining a subscribing member until his death.
He was advanced into Mark Masonry in Alston Galena Mark Lodge No 1963 in May 2015 and, in our own Templar Order, he was made a Knight Templar in Templar Segedunum Preceptory No 586 in June 2010. He was the Standard Bearer (VB) of the Preceptory but his passing has cut short what would otherwise have been a very promising Templar future.
The Provincial Priory mourns the passing of such a well respected mason and Knight Templar and the Province and the Preceptory are the poorer for his passing.
