The first Wolverhampton Lodge, according to Willmore, was constituted on 28th March 1732, the fourth in 1768, and he says that this town “appears—to have been the local centre of our masonic ‘forefathers’ ”. So it was to be for the Royal Arch Masonry in this Province.. St Peter’s Chapter, Wolverhampton - This Chapter, chartered on 4th May 1842, is now the St Peter’s Chapter No 419. The number change from 607 to 419 was a result of the closing up of Lodge numbers in 1863." - see PGLStafford.
