The first meeting was held in the Exeter cathedral. The first regular Orange lodge In I reinn I was founded in the village Loughalleg, County of ArroaU, 8ep-tember 21, 1795. The association soonworked itself up, and in November, 1798, and during the rebellion in Ireland, it had a lamed the dignity Of agrand lodge with a grand master andgrand secretary, and a formal establishment in the metropolis and in thefollowing years the organization extended over the entire province of Ulster and in all th# centres of Protes-tantlsm in the other province# of Ireland. In 1808 it extended from Ireland to England, although its first principles originated In Exeter, as before mentioned, Immediately afterWilliam landing at Torbay. A grandlodge was founded that year in Manchester. from which warrants were issued for the entire kingdom. The seat of the grand lodge was transferred toLondon In 1821. The grand lodge inIreland was dissolved in 1818. The --•lection of a royal duke C Cum bed and' in 1827 as grand master for England.resulted in the re-establishment of the Irish gt’atiil lodge in 1828, with Hi?5 Royal Highness as Imperial grand master. Immediately after the emancipation bill passed in 18569. lodgeswere organised throughout the world, and the order was introduced into th** army and navy. No fewer than o-regiments were proved to have received warrants for the holding of lt;Hransr** lodges In Ireland, and the English grand lodge had Issued 4lt;» warrantsfor the same 'purpose.
