This unnamed Lodge was granted a warrant by the Antients' Grand Lodge to meet as No. 107B at Newark in December 1806. The Lodge met at the White Hind Inn, Carter Gate, relocated to the White Lion Inn, Stodman Street in 1807 and met at the White Hind Inn, Carter Gate, Newark-?upon-?Trent, Nottinghamshire from 1808. The Lodge returned its warrant in January 1813 but was granted a number to meet as No. 132 after the union between the Antients' and Moderns' Grand Lodges in 1813 to form the United Grand Lodge of England. The Lodge appears in the Masonic Calendar for 1815, issued in 1814.
