The Royal and Select Masters Order of Freemasonry, sometimes referred to as ‘The Cryptic’, was founded in England in 1873 being an import from America.

The qualification to join is to be a Craft Freemason and a member of the Royal Arch and Mark degrees.

The Central District covers the Provinces of Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire and is comprised of 16 Councils.

The Ceremonies fill the gap between the Mark degree and the Royal Arch and complete the Ancient Circle of Freemasonry and the Hiramic Legend.
