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 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

You can be assured of a warm welcome.
Lodge
of Instruction Information
We have a terrific
lodge with the support of a very good Lodge of Instruction.
The Lodge of
Instruction is a place for Masonic education, where ceremonies are
rehearsed, lectures are presented and guidance offered, with the aim of
developing a greater understanding of Freemasonry.
Every month we go
through a particular ceremony, with members learning new roles,
discussing meanings and picking up tips from our experienced team of
Preceptor, Lodge Mentor, DC, and Secretary etc.
This is a fantastic
opportunity to rehearse ritual
under the guidance of experienced brothers
in an
informal learning environment.
