Lodge History
A well-established Lodge, based at Goldsmith Street Masonic Hall, whose members have differing levels of experience and interests. The Lodge was established in the year 1919 and has enjoyed many members from all walks of life.
Two years after the Nottingham Rotary Club was founded in, Nottingham, by ten founders of which six were already Freemasons, one of them – Charles Lymn – conceived the idea of forming a lodge – from the Rotarians, but also welcoming all men of the right quality and interests.
In May 1941 the Masonic Hall was hit by a bomber, but this did not stop freemasons climbing through the rubble to hold a meeting.
This is a small piece of our history and, if you decide to join our Lodge, after your initiation, you will receive a book setting out much more detail of our past.
