A brief history
A brief history
Loxfield Lodge #2450 was consecrated in 1893 by the V W Bro. Edward Letchworth in the presence of 125 brethren.
In his address the V W Bro. Letchworth said "The New Lodge would supply a great Masonic want in this part of the Province", and he expressed the hope that it would have a long career of unbroken prosperity and occupy a high position among the lodges in the Province. The current members of the Lodge are pleased to have seen this wish to fruition.
The first and fiftieth Master of the Lodge was Bro. R. L. Thornton (latterly the Provincial Grand Master) and the first initiate was 29 year old Bro Charles Dawson, a well known solicitor. Loxfield Lodge held it's centenary meeting in 1993 at which they were presented with a Centenary Warrant, which is available for inspection at every meeting alongside the regular warrant of the lodge.
Loxfield lodge continues today to uphold the standards set by those brethren back in 1893, whilst adjusting to the changing society in order to stay current and relevant.

Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
Friendship

One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.

With a membership of more than 150,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
