Get to Know Us

Who We Are

The oldest Lodge in the Province of Durham and reputed to be one of the oldest Lodges in the English Constitution. It was certainly known before 1717 and founded by Operative Masons and joined the Grand Lodge in 1735.

What We Do

We are active in donating to many varied charities and attempt to make good men better. We support our neighbouring Lodges in Durham and Northumberland by joining and enthusiastically visiting them so extending our fraternal relationships.

Why Join Us

We are the oldest Lodge in the Province of Durham with a strong historical emphasis and use the Old Working Ritual in our ceremonies.

To meet other people with similar attitudes to life.

To look for new challenges and new skills raising monies for charitable purposes.
