Myths

For many years Freemasonry has been inward looking and as we have gone about our business helping people to develop their minds, their social skills and their friendships, we have left the sceptics to form their own opinion of what it is we do.

This has led to imaginations going wild, especially online. In order to dispel some of the rumours that circulate, we are being far more open, have embraced social media, and welcome enquiries.

Yes, we do wear regalia that has evolved from the ancient stonemasons’ aprons, who were an integral part of building our history with the development of our great Cities, Churches and Cathedrals.

We do perform ritual in the form of four short plays, these tell a story and follow the development of a new mason through the three degrees of Craft Masonry and the final step into the Royal Arch.

Learning our ritual is an important part of developing our member’s minds, as in it contains lessons and morals that can be transferred to our everyday lives, another part of making good men better.

So a society of men who pride themselves on being upright members of the community, morally strong with a keen desire to improve their minds, their social network and make a difference; that’s what we’re all about.
