HISTORY
2019 – 150th Anniversary of Crossgar Orange Lodge
Today’s Twelfth celebrations in Crossgar were a major success and well attended. It was the first time in 16 years Crossgar has hosted the event.
Today also marked an important year in the history of local Orangeism; The 150th anniversary of the building of the town’s Orange Hall and an impressive 175th anniversary of the Orange Lodge itself; Cumberland True Blue LOL 358. The foundation stone of the hall was laid by William by the famous Unionist MP William Johnston of Ballykilbeg (Downpatrick) in 1869 and opened by William Beers Esq (Grand Master of Down Orangemen) in the same year.
The lodge has also been home to Crossgar Young Defenders Flute Band since their formation in 1987.
Today the lodge is made up of about 25 Orangemen both young and old, and it continues to be an integral part of the local community; holding various charity and ceremonial events throughout the year.
Congratulations Crossgar Lodge!
