Mason
It is not generally known that Peacock served as Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Victoria (Masonic Lodge or Freemasons) from 1900-1905. At age 39 he was the youngest person ever to obtain that position in Australian Freemasonry, before or since. He pleaded heavy parliamentary commitments when he retired as Grand Master in 1905.
