On behalf of the Freemasons of Nottinghamshire, I invite you to browse through the world of Freemasonry in this County. We aim to tell you about Masonry itself, its history and its philosophy, what it stands for, and how we practise it.

We operate under the Constitutions of The United Grand Lodge of England. As such we share "Three Grand Principles", of Fellowship, Charity, and Integrity. If you follow the links on this website, you can discover more about these, and why they are so important to us.

The website tells you what a man needs to know if he is interested in becoming a member, and therefore what his wife or partner also should know – her approval of his decision to join is very important to us.

You can discover where our Lodges meet, and when, and who are some of the senior members in Nottinghamshire. Also included is a diary of events – although many of these are for our members and their guests, it also includes open days at our Masonic centres throughout the County, at which you are more than welcome to visit us, to see where we meet and find answers to your questions.

You will perhaps be surprised at how much we can tell you, and how wrong people are when they say we are a secret society!

We also tell you about our charitable giving – many members of the public have no idea just how huge is the amount that Freemasons donate to charities, and just how great is the proportion of this that is donated to non-Masonic charities and good causes.

If you are not a Freemason and would like to learn more about this society of ours, and how to become a member, our Provincial Grand Secretary or our Provincial Information Officer can be contacted through this website and would be very happy to send you more details.

There is much to read here, and much to learn, whether you are already a member, or merely have an interest in the subject. I hope it helps you to understand more about us and our organisation, and that it will dispel all the misapprehensions and misleading information you may have heard about us!
