The James Orr Memorial was erected in Templecorran Cemetery in
Ballycarry, Co. Antrim in 1831 in memory of the great Mason and Ulster
Weaver Poet.  Donations for this grand structure came from the public
and neighbouring lodges, making it a community effort.

Today, this once great monument is crumbling and the once proud Masonic
 symbols and inscriptions are in a state of disrepair which will cost £20,000
to return to its former glory.

Ballycarry Community Association and the Education Committee of the
Provincial Grand Lodge of Antrim, with the support of the Provincial Grand
Master, have united in a community effort once again to restore this important
 piece of Masonic history and each have undertaken to raise half of the cost.

Would you like to become a Patron and help in the restoration of this
magnificent monument?

If so, you can pledge £25 for the appeal which will be launched in
February 2005 and you will receive:

Ø      A Commemorative Plate of which there will be only 600 produced.

Ø      Your name printed on the plate with a unique number on the back.

Ø      Your name recorded for posterity in the Community Centre in Ballycarry.

Ø      An invitation to the Dedication Ceremony and an opportunity to meet
all the other Patrons.

Most importantly, you will be securing this, believed to be one of only two public
 Masonic Monuments in Northern Ireland, for enjoyment by future generations.

There will be no more than 600 plates produced and they will be issued on a
first come first served basis.
