Our values

01.

INTEGRITY:

Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.

02.

FRIENDSHIP:

One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions, and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.

03.

RESPECT:

With a membership of more than 200,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.

04.

SERVICE:

Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time, resources and skills.

The History of Freemasonry in Suffolk

Freemasonry reached Suffolk in the 1730’s, following the formation of the first Grand Lodge in 1715. As the number of Lodges spread outwards from London, the Grand Lodge decided that it needed to regulate and retain control of the activities of the lodges under its jurisdiction, and it introduced a second tier of management: the Province.

What Members Say

Hear from our members

I joined, and haven’t looked back. Everyone is friendly and supportive, and I’ve made new friends and enjoy both the social and charitable side of Freemasonry.

The Lodge has provided me with a sense of belonging and purpose, reinforcing values of respect and community service among fellow members.

At St. Margaret’s Lodge, I discovered lasting friendships and a supportive network including a varied social aspect and opportunities to visit other Lodges.
