King Arthur's Hall (Tintagel)
King Arthur's Hall is a historic building in Tintagel , Cornwall, England. Built (died 1934) in the early 1930s by Frederick Thomas Glasscock, it is originally based on a social organization such as the Order of the Companions of the Knights of the Round Table have been (Order of the Fellowship of the Knights of the Round Table). It contains works of art and objects related to the Arthurian legend and is now a popular attraction for visitors.
Glasscock founded the Order in 1927 to promote Christian ideals and ideas of the medieval Arthurian Knights. Glasscock lived in the Eirenicon house , which he had built first. King Arthur's Hall was an extension of the Trevena House that was the residence of John Douglas Cook and was built on the site of the former Town Hall and Market Hall on Fore Street. A large number of local natural stones were used for the construction. The 73 stained glass windows serve to illustrate the Arthurian stories and were created by Veronica Whall. There are also several paintings depicting scenes from King Arthur's life by William Hatherell.
Today, three Masonic lodges meet here regularly (date of establishment in brackets): King Arthur Lodge No. 7134 (November 13, 1951), King Arthur Chapter No. 7134 (November 8, 1961) and Tintagel Castle Lodge by Mark Master Masons No. 1800 (April 23, 1999).
