The home of Freemasonry

The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), the home of Freemasonry in England, Wales, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and a number of Districts overseas.

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.

Mission Statement

The United Grand Lodge of England Mission Statement from their web site:

We are a unique members' organisation that has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges throughout the country where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships..
