CAMPBELL ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER
NO. 2656 E.C.
Year of Warrant - 1899
The Chapter meets at the Victoria Masonic Temple, Colombo on the fourth Saturday in the months of February, April, July and September with the Installation in July.
Campbell Royal Arch Chapter, in connection with Adam's Peak Lodge was consecrated on 15th April 1899 at Hatton. The Chapter in its early years met first in Hatton, shifted to Nuwara Eliya, returned to Hatton and then shifted to Talawakelle where it continued until it went into abeyance in 1992. It now meets at the Victoria Masonic Temple, Colombo (from 1998).
As was in the case of the Hercules Chapter, due to the absence of records and minute books, the Chapter could not celebrate its Centenary in 1999. In the absence of records, it is probable to conclude that the majority of the Founder members would have been First Principals of the Chapter at one time or another for it is hard to imagine that Brethren such as J N Campbell, Henry Byrde, J N Grant and H J Scott to name just four, would not have been so honoured by the Chapter.
