Elizabeth Aldworth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mrs. Elizabeth Aldworth (1693-1773) was a female Freemason.

Born the Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger, daughter of Viscount Doneraile of Doneraile Court, County Cork, Ireland, she was married in 1713 to Richard Aldworth, Esq.

From a narrative published by the family in 1811 it appears that, upon secretly observing the first two degrees of a lodge at labour in her father's home, she was discovered and, after discussion, initiated in the Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft Degree. A champion of Freemasonry, Mrs. Aldworth died in 1773.

While generally looked upon as an "irregular" Freemason by the Masonic community Mrs. Aldworth has long been observed and even championed in some cases by some lodges, especially those practising a Co-Masonic policy toward their members.
