Worshipful Brother Christopher John Noble
Dear Brethren,
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the sad passing to the Grand Lodge above Worshipful Brother and Excellent Comp Christopher John Noble PAGDC on 16th of October 2025 (73).
Chris’s Masonic career began four decades ago when he was initiated on the 20th of September 1985 in Park Street Lodge L8556 in Hertfordshire.
Chris held most offices at least once in all the units he was a member, devoting 40 years to the Craft and 27 years in Royal Arch, see below, he loved his freemasonry, the friendships and camaraderie. He will be greatly missed by all those that knew him.
Chris had been taken ill suddenly in the summer and was admitted into Lister hospital where he passed.
