District Templars contribution to cots
The Blaydon Courier 06/09/1919, in an article headed “Good Templarism” in which it reports a quarterly meeting held in the Throckley Methodist Church, includes the following:

“Tea was provided in the Wesleyan Hall at 5 p.m. by the 'Rescue of Throckley' Lodge. It was reported that about £106 had been already promised towards the endowment of a cot in the G.T. Orphanage at Sunbury in memory of Northumberland soldiers fallen during the war”.
