The original warrant is still in the possession of the Lodge, and is exhibited at
2
every meeting . In 1978 it was re-mounted, complete with its elaborate decoration,
on the left hand side of a substantial protective case in which the Centenary and
Bi-Centenary Warrants are displayed on the right. This is described in Chapter
Eleven with the other furniture.
The warrant is engrossed on vellum; the more important words are
distinguished by larger letters of many different types and sizes; some of them
and certain Masonic symbols in the margins are enriched with gold, now much
tarnished. (See Plates 1 & 2)

2 Warrants mounted together in a new case.
