At what stage the warrant lapsed here is not known. What is known is that the warrant was reissued by Grand Lodge under its present title and number to Rev. Stewart of Newtownbreda Parish on 3 June 1893, and the lodge became part of No. 6 District Ballymacarrett. Reformed, they held their inonthly meetings in the house of Mr. McClelland. local school-master (or Clelland's cottage, which still stands in Newtownbreda, though known now as Newtownbreda House). On 5 May 1896 the decision was taken to move their warrant from No. 6 District and join the newly formed No. 10 District in Ballynafeigh Orange Hall.

It requires little thought to realise what prompted such a move: at this stage Newtownbreda was little more than a picturesque country village far removed from the city, and the lodge, comprising as it did mainly gamekeepers and estate workerson the Belvoir Park estate, employed by Lord Deramore, who was himself a member of the lodge, must have found at times the distance between Newtownbreda and the Albertbridge Road where No. 6 District Lodges met a great inconvenience, public and private transport being minimal by today's standards.

Times do change, very often beyond belief, for it is recorded between 1893 and 1896 that members expressed disgust at having to pay 'four old pence' for a hundredweight bag of coal to heat the schoolmaster's house during their winter meetings! Bro. Rev. Stewart did not have 'his troubles to seek' in the early days of the lodge in Newtownbreda. At one stage the lodge members according to records proved to be a most rebellious body. The District minutes of 1899 record:

-They in defiance of the rules of the County Grand Lodge, did separately and by a different route proceed to the Twelfth of July venue, independently from the rest of the Belfast County parade, and returned home in the same manner'. Various reasons were given for this misdemeanour, but the action was taken without ever advising any higher authority as to their intention, something which just would not happen today. On 12 July 1902 they were in trouble once more, because of their point blank refusal to parade as a lodge at all; this dispute arose through a difference of opinion with No. 10 District over engaging Newtownbreda Flute Band (as it was then) to accompany them to the field on the Twelfth. Recriminations flew thick and fast between lodge and District for almost two years afterwards, before harmony was eventually restored.

On 12th July 1896 the Belfast County demonstration was held in Belvoir Park and while the members were requested to behave themselves at all times in a gentlemanly fashion it was decided to engage bands only for the event, and to 'forsake the fife and drum' because of the unruly behaviour of musicians on previous occasions due to 'excess of drink taken'.

Why the lodge seemed to be continually at loggerheads with the parent District Lodge during the period 1899-1902 can only be a matter for speculation. One suspectsthat at this particular time Newtownbreda was still a fairly remote country village supporting an Orange Lodge which was at the same time part of a city District; it may have been a case of 'these townies are not going to dictate to us what we will or will not do'. Happily all differences after this period were resolved to everyones satisfaction; indeed, since then the lodge has a record of which it can be justifiably proud. Out of some 12 or 13 District Masters installed from the year 1896, Lodge 819 has supplied no fewer than six of them. which speaks very highly of the calibre of the lodge memberhsip. At present both District Chaplains who hold office in the County Grand Lodge are members of Lodge 819: Rev. W. Hoey. B.A. and Rev. E. Smyth B.A., B.D.

The late Rev. Canon Louis Crooks M.A. was a member of the lodge and was at one stage County Grand Master of Belfast, and there are still many alive who can testify to his stirring sermons at the drumhead services which the lodge organised for many years in the rectory field, now the lower section of the parish cemetery.

The writer can recall attending these services as a child accompanied by his fatheras part of a congregation of many hundreds, for it was a very popular annual Sunday evening service, both with local Orangemen and the public at large.

A foundation lodge of No. In District, L.O.L. 819 continues to exist in a fairly healthy state, drawing, as it still does, many of its members from the Ncwtownbreda area.

The photograph of the lodge taken on the Twelfth of July morning in 1910 at the schoolmaster's house was sadly for many of them the last one ever taken, as almost half the members were killed in action during the First World War.

Bro, F, Patterson senior (front row, foreground) served continuously in various offices in the Orange Order for 55 years, whichmust be something of a record, while the late Brother William Jordan (back row, fifth from left) who joined the lodge at eighteen years of age and remained a member until his death, aged 86 years, in 1978, was also a well known figure as a Church Warden in Knockbreda Parish Church for many years. The only surviving member of the lodge is the child (left, foreground), Bro. F. Patterson junior, son of the brother mentioned earlier in the paragraph, who at the time of writing is still resident in Ballynafeigh, while his son George is the third generation of Pattersons to hold membership of L.O.L. 819.

The photograph itself is worthy of close study, with particular attention to the gentleman seated in the front row wearing a hand embroidered sash, which today would be virtually impossible to acquire. The reason for the fact that some of the members are shown wearing two sashes is that prior to the commencement of the demonstrations of the Grand Black Chapter each last Saturday in August, it was permissible for brethren who were members of both Orange and Black Orders to wear their black sashes on the reverse shoulder each Twelfth of July. The present banner, which depicts Knockbreda Parish Church on the front, with a purple star surmounted with bible and crown on the reverse side, was unfurled and dedicated in Knockbreda Parish Church on 28 May, 1971 by Rev. William Hoey B.A.
