The following list is of places where it be certain that the Lodge met.   It is also necessary to point out that in its early days it functioned in a district noted for its Jacobite sympathies , and tradition informs us that during that period in the early and mid-eighteenth century, the members had to resort to meetings in the hillsides and caves which abounded around Derwentside with numerous Outer Guards or Tylers.   This was necessary because meetings had to be free from suspicion and surprise from those who were not favourable to the craft.
