Warranted in the 19th century, the lodge carries a rich heritage rooted in the principles of Freemasonry, including brotherhood, charity, and self-improvement.

Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth

Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, open to those of all backgrounds.

We empower our members to be the best they can be, both for themselves and for society around them.

Throughout our 300 years of heritage and history, our members have come from all walks of life and each with their own unique story to tell for why they became a Freemason.

As one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, we have a thriving community of approximately 170,000 members throughout England and Wales, as well as Districts overseas.

Freemasons use four key values to help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect, and Service.
