Council History

In 1993, Edgar W. Fentum (member of Escorial Council, Time Immemorial meeting in Havant, England) attended his first meeting of a Council of the Allied Masonic Degrees (AMD) in California. It was held during a Sunday Brunch. He was dismayed to discover that this was the practice of some Allied Masonic Degree Councils in the United States.
In 1994, Bro. Fentum applied for and received a Charter for Britannia Council No. 303 meeting in Los Altos, California and served as its first Sovereign Master.
Britannia Council adopted many practices of an English Council, i.e., holding tyled meetings, conferring degrees and presenting the occasional research paper.
In 2007, Bro. Fentum moved to the Masonic Homes of California in Union City, California and in 2010 founded Siminoff Council No. 485, which also labours in the English Council manner.
As a mark of affection, the unshorn lamb skin aprons, crafted by Bro. Fentum, are continuing to be worn by the Officers of the Siminoff Council when conferring the Royal Ark Mariner Degree.
