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.

HISTORY
Parachute Regiment Lodge was consecrated on the 5th of June 1989 at Freemasons Hall Great Queen Street, London.
They were 18 Founding members, and the lodge was sponsored by The United Engineers Lodge No 3862.
The planning of the lodge
The founding of this Lodge was primarily the dream of an ex-member of the Parachute Regiment, the late W. Bro. Les Petty LGR; but like Freemasonry in general, whose branches are spread over the four quarters of the globe and whose membership are drawn from many different professions and occupations, the Founder members were also drawn from diverse walks of life.
At a meeting of the Founders on 29th March 1988, it was the original intention to have the title “The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Lodge”, to encircle the camaraderie of the Airborne Forces in general. This being deemed too long a name by Grand Lodge, a compromise was suggested that the name of the Lodge should be ‘The Parachute Regiment Lodge’ and to use the Airborne Forces motto “Ad Unum Omnes”, not the Parachute Regiment’s motto “Utrinque Paratus”.
