Who are we?
Doric Lodge was consecrated in 1934. We have a diverse and varied cross-section of members from all walks of life, occupations and professions. Most of our members live locally but we have some who travel from across the country to join our meetings.
What we do
Although we are proud of our rich history, we are a forward-looking lodge, keen to promote the traditions and values of Freemasonry into the 21st century. We are proud of the standard of our Masonic ritual (Emulation).
We meet once a month to promote friendship, respect and charity, regularly welcoming visitors from other lodges, far and wide.
We enjoy our Freemasonry in all its aspects and have a common goal to meet like-minded people and enjoy each-others company. We strive to improve our lives and assist in local and national charities.
We also provide moral support and comfort to our members and their families in times of ill health or enforced absence, trying to ensure no one is forgotten about.
