Hi Chris
Unfortunately not much left of the Croyden Lodge now. The only remaining Lodge close to Croyden is in Dartford.
Had a look in the 1923 Lodge lists and Cryden Lodge is listed as meeting at Alhambra Hotel, West Croydon. Meeting on a Thurday. Can't tell you much more about it I am afraid.
Yes Noble Arch was the chairman of the lodge and he was most often in that position from 3 to 6 months, sometimes he might occupy it for a year. He was only in it for three months as the Lodge met every week unlike say Masonic Lodges who always met monthly.
If I can help in any other way please let me know. The closest Lodge that still meets the nearest to you (and me) is in Bedworth. There were some Druids lodges in Stoke and in Leek but these seemed to have switched to become United Ancient Order of Druids Lodges
