What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world. Its roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
Freemasons aim to shape their lives round four important values:
Integrity |
Friendship |
Respect |
Charity |
