North Pennine is a “daylight” lodge set up to provide the opportunity for like minded men to enjoy the camaraderie of, and connection to, the masonic family when unable, for whatever reason, to attend an evening lodge. Current membership consists of retirees from several diverse backgrounds but with a shared experience of Freemasonry. However, we very much welcome approaches for membership by anyone wishing to join masonry for the first time. Past members wishing to re-join a lodge are, of course, equally welcome.
What We Do
We provide continuity in the masonic journey in a friendly gathering, meeting in a pleasant rural location. Members enjoy the usual masonic principles, ceremonies, practices and traditions with the opportunity to explore and increase masonic knowledge. As in any lodge the benefits of all the usual masonic support bodies and mechanisms are available to members, if needed. Every meeting is followed by lunch which while relaxed nevertheless observes the expected traditions. One meeting per year is further devoted to entertaining wives, partners, friends and guests.
Why Join Us
We cater for anyone interested in Freemasonry unable to attend evening meetings and our subscriptions are very reasonable. Our location in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers the chance to enjoy the journey to and from meetings with time available to further explore Teesdale attractions in the remainder of the day.
