Sanctuary Lodge was consecrated on 26th April 1975 and is based in the superb
Durham Masonic Hall at Old Elvet in Durham.
Our lodge is made up of our valued members, of which there are more than 40 of us,
and growing! Ranging from 31 years through to 86 years with varying levels of
masonic experience.
Lodge members have diverse backgrounds spanning multiple professions including
Information Technology, Law Enforcement, Passenger Transport, Education,
Finance, Retail, Musicians and Armed Forces. We all share a common goal of
Friendship, Respect & Charity in a welcoming, easy-going atmosphere.
What We Do
Alongside our masonic commitments, we’re a very sociable lodge, noted
throughout the Province for proactive visiting, taking part in and promoting a wide
range of activities both in and out of the lodge.
Our Sanctuary Lodge diners club, our events, social evenings, and get-togethers are
very popular among our members, visitors and those interested in joining
freemasonry.
We take pride in our masonry and encourage every Brother to take part in our lodge
work should they wish to do so and assist with our charitable endeavours.
Brotherly Love - Relief - Truth
