We are a Craft Masonic lodge working under the United Grand Lodge of England. Our lodge is a welcoming community of men from all walks of life, united by a shared commitment to fellowship, personal development, and charitable giving.
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest non-religious, non-political fraternal organisations. It teaches moral values through a system of ceremony and ritual, encouraging its members to be men of integrity, compassion and good character.
The three great principles at the heart of Freemasonry are Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth: a commitment to care for one another, to support those in need, and to live with honesty and integrity in all we do.
Charity and Community
Masonic charity is a cornerstone of everything we do. Nationally, the four Masonic charities support thousands of people every year, providing grants for healthcare, education, and hardship relief. Our lodge makes regular contributions to these charities and supports local causes in our community.
Our Meetings
We meet regularly throughout the year for formal lodge meetings, each followed by a festive board, a formal dinner where the fellowship of the lodge truly comes alive. Our meetings bring together men of different backgrounds and professions, bound by shared values and a genuine enjoyment of each other's company.
The wider aims of Freemasonry
What We Are
We are a unique members' organisation that has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet 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.
What We Aim For
To attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling them to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge them to practise the core values we celebrate - Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Service - in their private and public lives. To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.
