Under the United Grand Lodge of England, three terms now exist for this intermediate level of administration.
In the counties of England and Wales there are Provinces, each headed by a Provincial Grand Master.
Since 2002 the facility has also existed to create an equivalent layer of administration and management in any urban conglomeration, to be known as a Metropolitan Area, and headed by a Metropolitan Grand Master.
A later organization, which in part mimics the hierarchical structure of the Masons, is the Oddfellows.
In the Manchester Unity (a leading branch of the organisation) a Provincial Grand Master holds an office between local Lodge and National level.
