The Loyal Orange Institution (more commonly known as The Orange Order) is a Protestant fraternity with members throughout the world. Our name honours William III, Prince of Orange, whose victory over despotic power laid the foundation for the evolution of Constitutional Democracy in the British Isles. The Order with its proud history is primarily a religious organisation that also expresses the culture of a people. An organisation involved in social and charitable work that also accepts its political responsibilities. We hope that our site provides an insight into a multi-faceted organisation at the centre of community life
