    What is Freemasonry

    Heritage and history

    We are a unique members’ organisation that has thrived for over 300 years

    Our roots lie in the traditions and ceremonies of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.

    History of Freemasonry

    Engaged in our Communities

    Service has always been a core principle of Freemasonry.

    Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart of Freemasonry.
