A MESSAGE OF WELCOME FROM THE WORSHIPFUL MASTER,
W. Bro. Jonathan G. Jackson
Thank you for visiting our Lodge website. Please stay a while to browse through the various links shown above my message.  
There you will find a mine of information about, not only our Lodge, but also freemasonry and its charities.

All freemasons, being members of recognised Craft Lodges at home and abroad, are most welcome to come along as visitors to our historic Lodge.
You have the choice of dining with us or just attending our meetings.

Our Lodge meets 12 times a year, on the last Wednesday of each month.
Our next installation is the 30th of January 2013.
Please contact our Lodge Secretary for information if you wish to attend our Lodge meetings.
