Our very own Very Worshipful Brother David Butcher receiving his 50-year certificate from the Provincial Grand Master.
David was initiated into Greville Lodge No. 4773 in 1976 by his father who was then Worshipful Master.
His career took him away from the area, as a result he did not become Master himself until 2002.
He is also currently master of Warwickshire Installed Masters Lodge No.4538 and a Past Master the Warwickshire Royal Air Force Lodge No.9456. In 2009 he was appointed a Provincial Assistant Director of Ceremonies, a role he held for two years.
He was appointed Provincial Senior Grand Warden in 2014 and subsequently became Provincial Grand Mentor.
He was appointed Assistant Provincial Grand Master in October 2020 and promoted to Deputy Provincial Grand Master in November 2022.
He was exalted to the Royal Arch in 1986 into Greville Chapter and became its Most Excellent Zerubbabel in 2010.
He became a trustee, and subsequently chairman, of Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust and served on the board for 12 years until he stood down in 2019.
He is chairman of the Masonic Charitable Foundation’s Charity Grants Committee.
