Loxfield Lodge #2450 is one of the many lodges which is part of the Province of Sussex. The Province of Sussex is then one of the many Provinces and Districts which makes up the United Grand Lodge of England. 

A Freemasons Lodge is a place where members will spend a significant part of their journey in Freemasonry, attending meetings and working together to uphold the principles of the fraternity.

Lodge meetings are typically held in two parts. The first involves more administrative procedures, such as proposing and balloting for new members and receiving news about charitable fundraising and any member who may need assistance of his fellow brothers. The second part focuses on ceremonies, which might relate to areas such as the admittance of new members or the installation of the Master of the Lodge and his officers – a process made up of three degrees, or stages, each marked by a special ceremony.

When a person is initiated into Freemasonry, they complete the First Degree. At this point, they become an 'Entered Apprentice'. The First Degree ceremony reminds us that all are equal – it is the responsibility of those that do well to look after those less fortunate. 

Upon completion of the Second Degree, a member becomes a 'Fellowcraft Freemason'. This encourages members to better themselves through education and focuses on self-development. 

After this, the member will then undertake the Third Degree. This ceremony teaches them how to use their life wisely and be remembered for the right reasons. On completion, they become a Master Mason.
