Commenting on his retirement, the N.-C. Daily News says:-*
Outside business, Mr. Allen's principal concorns were golf, lawn bowls and Masonic affairs, and perhaps the latter in particular. The local Masons will feel hia loss very keenly, for he took the greatest interest in everything associated with the craft and, in addition to being organist of the Northern Lodge, he was District Grand Organist, E.C for 1 years. His mother lodge was Eilwia -ning,

He assured them of a hearty welcome at his home in Stoke Gabriel, Devonshire, should they at any time call on him.
