It was tumultuous times and yet some Stradbally townspeople petitioned the Grand Lodge of Ireland for a Warrant to hold Masonic meetings there.
The founders were Nicholas Fay, John Dunn and Robert Pringle. The Warrant numbered 712 was issued to them by the Grand Lodge on 1 April 1790. Between that date and 1796 there were only five other members registered in Grand Lodge records. No other members were registered after that year.
The Warrant was then cancelled on 7 October 1813. On that day, Grand Lodge cancelled a considerable number of Warrants of lodges from which nothing had been heard for some years.
In J. F. Lewis' article, Freemasonry in the Midland Counties Province, in the Lodge of Research No. 200 Transactions for 1923, mention is made that there is no more information is known of the Lodge. The original Lodge Warrant is no longer in the archives of Grand Lodge, so this may never have been returned once cancelled.
Unfortunately there are few records of this Lodge or where the brethren met.
