Elvetham Lodge No. 4013

Welcome
The Members of Elvetham Lodge would like to offer a warm welcome to all visitors to our website.  One of the main purposes of the site is to help all those who have an interest in Freemasonry in Basingstoke, or Masonry in general to find out more about both Masonry and the Elvetham Lodge in particular. To this end, our website provides a Brief Historic Summary of Elvetham Lodge, offers answers to some of the most frequently asked questions and outlines some of the Social Events which may be of interest. In addition, there are a number of excellent links to other key Masonic locations that provide further good insight into Freemasonry in the local area or generally throughout the UK. Some of the useful links and further resources that can be explored are:

                  Freemasonry in the Province of Hampshire & Isle of Wight              Freemasonry in the UK
 

Useful Information About Membership

In the United Kingdom Freemasonry  is the largest, secular fraternal and charitable organisation and operates under the United Grand Lodge of England . It has over 300,000 members working in nearly 8000 lodges throughout England and Wales plus a further 30,000 more members overseas.
 

People become Freemasons for a variety of reasons, some as a result of family tradition, others upon the introduction of a friend or out of curiosity to know what it is all about.

Membership is open to men of all faiths over the age of 21 years, whom are law-abiding and of good character and who acknowledge a belief in a God. Freemasonry is a multi-racial and multi-cultural organisation that has attracted members from all sectors of the community.

Freemasonry offers its members an approach to life which seeks to reinforce thoughtfulness and kindness to other, commitment to the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things. Members are urged to regard the interests of family as paramount but importantly Freemasonry also teaches and practices concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help those in need.

One of the best ways that people who are interested Freemasonry can discover and learn more is to come to lodge social events. The details of the Social Events for the 2006-7 season can be found on this site, or by clicking Events

If you would like to enquire about membership or just to join us at one of our social events, please e-mail the Secretary at Secretary@ElvethamLodge.co.uk

You can be assured of a warm welcome.
