The lodge was saddened to hear of the death of W.Bro. Derek. E. Wooden, PPrGSwdB.

W.Bro. Derek was initiated into this lodge on the 21st January in 1978. He served as Master in 1987.

It is with sadness that the lodge has learned of the death of W. Bro. Colin H. Basson, PPrJGW, PPrJGW (Soms).

W. Bro. Colin was initiated into the lodge on the 20th of October 1962, having studied at Hampton between 1948 and 1954. He served as Master of Old Hamptonian, his mother lodge, in 1976.

It is with much sadness that report the death of R.W.Bro. Lt. Col. Denis A.M. Phipps, MBE, PProvGM(Surrey), PProvSGW.

R.W.Bro Denis made an outstanding contribution to our lodge, masonry in general, and wider society. He will be very sadly missed.

I have to say that joining the masons was one of the most influential

things in my life. The ethos of the fraternity is good citizenship, charity

and honesty and its hopes in this direction are played out within the

ancient ritual.

W. Bro Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor, a PM of Old Hamptonian Lodge, reflects on how he became a freemason in the current edition of the Old Hamptonian Chronicle. Browse to page 149 of The Lion (PDF).

At the January meeting, James Lawson, an Old Hamptonian, was elected to be Worshipful Master for the year 2014-2015.

It was with great sadness that the lodge learned of the death of Bro. George Warder, PPrGPurs on 1 December 2011.

An Old Hamptonian, George was proposed into the Lodge by his brother-in-Law Cyril Tarrant and seconded by Bill Yarrow. He was initiated on 16/10/1965 and raised  on 10/12/1966.

While he had no ambition to go through the chair he was happy serving the lodge in any way he could. A stalwart of the Lodge of Instruction, George served for many years as Assistant Secretary and Assistant DC.

He was promoted to PPrGPurs as a Lay Brother for his dedication to the Lodge in 2002.

It is with sadness that the lodge has received news of the death of Cyril Tarrant on 31 May 2010.

Born in 1923, Cyril was 87. He attended Hampton School and emigrated to Australia in 1966.

He was master of Old Hamptonian Lodge in 1956.

It was with great regret that we learned of the death of W. Bro. John Curtis PPrSGD (Bucks) who died on  31 August, 2008.
