The following information is intended to explain Freemasonry as it is practiced under the United Grand Lodge of England, which administers Lodges of Freemasons in England and Wales and in many places overseas.
Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values. Its members are taught its precepts (moral lessons and self-knowledge) by a series of ritual dramas – a progression of allegorical two-part plays which are learnt by heart and performed within each Lodge – which follow ancient forms, and use stonemasons’ customs and tools as allegorical guides.
Freemasonry instills in its members a moral and ethical approach to life: it seeks to reinforce thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things. Members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount but, importantly, Freemasonry also teaches and practices concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need.
Freemasons all over the UK are raising over £33 million a year and we are also one of the UK’s main grant-giving bodies.
Kindness has always been a core principle of Freemasonry. Individuals give time and money to help others, whether locally, nationally or globally. It may be realising a dream for a member’s child, caring for older Freem
Freemasons all over the UK are raising over £33 million a year and we are also one of the UK’s main grant-giving bodies.
Kindness has always been a core principle of Freemasonry. Individuals give time and money to help others, whether locally, nationally or globally. It may be realising a dream for a member’s child, caring for older Freemasons, volunteering on a local community project, making donations to other UK charities or responding to an international disaster appeal.
From earliest times Freemasons have been taught to help, to the best of their ability, those in distress. without detriment to any who are dependent upon them, and to give their support to outside charities.

In the past membership was gained by being proposed by a friend or family member and that is largely still the case. The saying “To become one, ask one” still applies. There are however many men who are interested in joining but who don’t necessarily have a friend or family member who is already a Mason.

In the past membership was gained by being proposed by a friend or family member and that is largely still the case. The saying “To become one, ask one” still applies.

At the bottom of this page is a contact form for you to register your interest. Once completed a member of our team will contact you.
Following the initial contact, we will arrange to meet you informally or to invite you to one of our social functions. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and decide if Freemasonry is for you. At no time will we attempt to persuade you to join. It will be up to you to decide in your own time..
