In 1751 a Master Mason named Laurence Dermott, an Irishman living in London, formed a rival to the Grand Lodge of England called the Antient Grand Lodge. This group objected to the perceived progressive tendencies of the Grand Lodge of England, which it believed had degenerated into a mere philosophical talking-shop that was neglecting the essential rituals and traditions of Masonry. The Antients versus the Moderns dispute simmered within Freemasonry until 1813, when it was resolved by the creation of the United Grand Lodge of England (see page 53).
