WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

One of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals…

The lodge has held several social events such as witnessing the Tower of London Keys ceremony a lady’s festival at a hotel usually outside of London that provides opportunity for our families to enjoy the company that these types of events provide. Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

A double passing ceremony took place in the Grand Temple of Mark Masons' Hall on Saturday 22^nd February, for Bros. Franklin Ukpedor and Adela Imiekhaudu of Nile Valley Lodge No 6306.

The ceremony was exceptionally well-conducted, an evening marking a significant step in our Brothers’ Masonic journeys.

The ritual was delivered with precision and sincerity, making it a truly memorable occasion. A Grand Lodge certificate was also presented by our Visiting Officer, adding to the evening’s significance.

The Festive Board that followed was filled with camaraderie, laughter, and heartfelt toasts, embodying the true spirit of Brotherhood and strengthening the bonds that unite us as Masons.
