English Constitution

Following the craft freemasonry degrees, there are a vast number of separately administered degrees and orders available solely to craft freemasons in England and Wales. Beyond the three degrees of craft freemasonry, the Holy Royal Arch is the only degree officially recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) under the English Constitution. Other orders and degrees, on the other hand, are referred to and recognized by the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, and all of its members are required to be masons under the English Constitution.
