Bro Whitworth was initiated into Freemasonry in St George\u2019s Lodge No 431 in March 1970. He took the Master\u2019s Chair on two occasions in 1996 and 2007.
In the Provincial Grand Lodge of Northumberland he was appointed to the rank of Past Provincial Junior Grand Deacon in 991 before promotion to Past Provincial Junior Grand Warden in 1996.
He later joined the Northumbrian Masters Lodge No 3477 and the Insurance and Banking Lodge of Northumbria No 3886 but later left both Lodges, maintaining subscribing membership of his mother Lodge until his death.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In November 1982 he joined our Order when he was installed in St Oswald Preceptory No 481 and the following year he was a Founder member of the Prior\u2019s Haven Preceptory No 522. In 1990 he was appointed to the Provincial Prior\u2019s Bodyguard and, five years later, was a Founder member of the Northumbria Guards Preceptory No 600.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
