A Brief Historic Summary of Elvetham Lodge

                                        

Elvetham Lodge was originally consecrated at White Lion Hotel, Hartfordbridge on 7th July 1920 by R. W. Bro Sir Augustus F Webster Bt. Provincial Grand Master, Hampshire and Isle of Wight.

The Lodge moved to Kenward House in Hartley Wintney in May 1921 and finally to Masonic Hall, Victoria Street, Basingstoke on 23rd February 1993.

Elvetham was formed to meet a demand from local business and trade people for a Masonic Lodge in the Hartley Witney area and for many years met that demand successfully. Minutes of the first meeting record 9 candidates for Initiation.

Of the 20 Founders, 7 were Past Masters.

Following the Consecration W.Bro. F H Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe was installed as the first Master and he appointed W. Bro. A Hepburn as Senior Warden and W Bro. T A Linton as Junior Warden.

The Lodge has enjoyed the support of 81Masters over the years and today is regularly attended by 40 Masons.

Elvetham Lodge has enjoyed over 85 years of continuous Masonry. It is an active and well supported Lodge and although Membership now comes from a wider area it still retains a local focus in charitable support in the community."
