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…

Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

At Chingford Masonic Hall on 2nd November 2024, Coborn Lodge No.1804 received a visit from Metropolitan Grand Inspector W Bro Michael Aminzade, escorted by W Bro Anthony Codd. W Bro Michael witnessed a wonderful triple Initiation ceremony, as part of the Welcome Project, which was attended by seven newly Initiated Brethren.

Over 80 hungry members and guests then tucked into the traditional Coborn ‘very full English fry up’ for lunch. During the lunch proceedings, W Bro Tony Shepherd, Metropolitan Grand Inspector and Chairman of the Chingford Masonic Association, was presented with an incredibly generous donation of £500 towards the CMA’s annual Widows Christmas Lunch.

Held within the Chingford Masonic Hall, this Christmas Lunch aims to host the widows and a chaperone of the Metropolitan and Essex Lodges and Chapters who meet at Chingford.
