What is Freemasonry?
We are a unique members’ organisation which has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We gather in our individual Lodges throughout the country where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.
Origins?
There are several theories about the origins of Freemasonry, ranging from ancient builders to medieval stonemasons.
Still to this day, the roots of modern Freemasonry are the subject of intense speculation, but the general consensus among Masonic scholars is that they lie with the medieval stonemasons that built our castles and cathedrals.
What do some of our new members say?
‘The comradeship is amazing, there are so many like minded people you will always fit in with someone’.
I discovered the fascinating history and dispelled the common misconceptions”
“I am proud that I am a part of one of the oldest, most respected and widely recognised organisations in the world”.
"Freemasonry has given me the opportunity to build my confidence & make new friendships".
