Bedic Lodge

In the depths of the Second World War, Bedic Lodge No. 5915 was born (consecrated on 18th December 1943) and created by 16 Freemasons from Penshaw Lodge. Local history was the main influence with the decision to call it Bedic Lodge, as the name is noted in ‘The Boldon Book’ which a is a Durham equivalent of the Doomsday Book.

In testament to its success, the Lodge continues actively today heading towards eighty years, with a strong committed membership, offering the same positive, supportive and adaptable approach.

Collectively we are an enthusiastic and focused group of likeminded gentlemen, of all ages and social backgrounds, who genuinely enjoy meeting formally and socially, with an underlying and inquisitive interest of Freemasonry with all the diverse aspects it has to offer, complementing the busy lifestyles we all live. Support and charity are key factors within Freemasonry, along with building confidence, but overall enjoying yourself within a history rich organisation, built on strong solid core values.

Each Lodge meeting offers a formal but varied structured process, which is then followed by drinks and a meal on a more social basis within the Lodge dining hall.

Freemasonry encompasses a wide and varied list of activity depending upon who you are. If you are looking for new friendships, exciting and stimulating hobby which is formal, but social on a local national and international basis, then it may be for you….

Integrity, Friendship, Respect, and Charity are the foundation stones of a Freemason.
