We are not certain of the exact date when this District Lodge was formed but there was certainly an Orange presence in this part of the North East from the mid 1850's as there are local newspaper accounts of an affray on July 12th 1857 at a place called Felling near Gateshead. Here a group of Roman Catholic Ribbonmen attacked a parade of Orangemen, a number of persons were badly injured some of the Ribbonmen were arrested for Violent assault and sent to jail in Durham. |

Parade's ? Why do we have them?
Why do Orangemen Parade? The answer to this is simple BECAUSE WE CAN! You will hear the press coverage of Parade's (mainly in N.Ireland) where there are over 3,000 such parades held every year, mostly with no problems at all, yet the media focus on problem areas such as Drumcree and other so called interface areas.
In the majority of cases the Orangemen have been using the same routes for well over a hundred years with no difficulties, until the advent of Community Groups fronted mainly by ex Republican prisoners and known terrorists.
There are hundreds of Parade's held in Mainland Britain every year. These are held in a carnaval atmosphere with no trouble at all.
They are held for a variety of reasons some are important anniversaries in the Orange calender others are to Church services or Rememberance services but most importantly, they are not to harrass or upset anyone, but merely an expression of our culture and heritage. |
