The exact date of the first founding of Odd Fellowship is lost in the fogs of antiquity.
Some historians trace its roots back to the Medieval Trade Guilds of the 12th and 13th Centuries.
Others estimated that it existed before 1650. What is clear is that there were a number
of Odd Fellow groups in England in the 1700's.
