The Lincolnshire Centenary Daylight Preceptory No 680 was consecrated as a Daylight Preceptory on 1st March 2010 at a ceremony in the Assembly Rooms, Bailgate, Lincoln.

E Kt T F Aldridge P Gt A-de-C was installed as First Preceptor, E Kt M Bull as First Constable and Kt J R Spriggs as Second Constable. The Preceptory is a travelling preceptor meeting at Masonic centres in Lincoln, Boston, Gainsborough, Grantham, Grimsby, Louth and Skegness.
