About us
The David Garrick Lodge 4243 was formed in 1921 out of The Swan of Avon Lodge 2133 following an influx of new members during and after the Great War. The Swan of Avon Lodge was at that time meeting in the Union Club which was not big enough to accommodate the nearly 70 members wishing to attend meetings. The name ‘David Garrick’ was one of a number considered and was unanimously adopted by the founders in reference to the great actor of Shakespearean plays, and a benefactor to Shakespeare’s town by inaugurating the first Commemorative Festival in 1769, and by making presentations of the poet’s portrait and statue. The Lodge banner illustrates this event and the date.
