From the Universities Scheme to special interest Lodges, Freemasonry gives members the opportunity to make a wide circle of friends for life.

Respect

Freemasons are taught to treat all people equally and with dignity, regardless of background, religion, or status in society.

Service

Freemasonry is one of the largest contributors to charitable causes in the country, with almost £1 million donated per week across the UK.

About Us

Lodge of Fraternity No. 1418

Founded in 1874, our Lodge has stood for over 150 years as a beacon of fellowship, personal growth, and service — uniting generations of men across backgrounds in the enduring principles of Freemasonry.
