Rawlins White Memorial LOL 803 Cardiff, is one of only two Orange Lodges in the Wales and resides under The Grand Lodge of England, It was formed on St. Patrick's Day 2012 and is the first Orange Lodge to sit in South Wales since 1920. The Lodge meets the 3rd Friday of each month in a church hall, in North Cardiff.

Orangeism once had a strong presence in South Wales, particularly in the Cardiff and Rhondda valley areas - at one point Aberdare even had its own District Lodge, comprising five Private Lodges.

Cardiff City L. O. L. 803 met from 1907 until 1920, when it went out of existence and it is this dormant warrant number which the new Lodge has revived. More information on the history of the Orange Institution in the Principality can be seen on our Welsh Orangeism page.
