Lodge 6008
300
years of history
Throughout 300 years of heritage and history, our members have come from all walks of life and each with their own unique story to tell for why they became a Freemason.
​
As one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, we have a thriving community of approximately 200,000 members throughout England and Wales, as well as Districts overseas.
Freemasons use four key values to help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect, and Service.

Membership is open to people from all backgrounds and the organisation’s aim is to empower members to be the best they can be – it’s about building character, supporting members as individuals and helping them make a positive contribution to society.
We have more than 7,000 Lodges, with any man welcome to join, irrespective of their race or religion. Students are also able to join one of 87 University Scheme Lodges.
Women are invited to join one of two female-only Grand Lodges: The Order of Women Freemasons and Freemasonry for Women.
