Agricola Lodge is a traditional Freemasons lodge, situated in the heart of York, near Clifford's Tower.
Our lodge meets at Castlegate House, an historic Georgian building built in 1764 which is full of charm
and character.
Our membership of
around 40 is diverse and enables men from different backgrounds and age groups to socialise as equals.
We have a meeting every month where we conduct our masonic business. This might
include a ceremony such as the initiation or advancement of a new member.
After the ceremony in the lodge room, or "temple", has ended, we retire to
our private bar for a drink and then take our seats in the dining room
for a three course meal. Here we relax, enjoy each others’
company, discuss
our common interests and strengthen our bonds of friendship.
The evening's
festivities usually draw to a close between 22:00 and 22:30.
We also have two rehearsals during the month (called instruction lodges). These are much
less formal meetings where we practice our masonic ceremonies. New members are very welcome (and encouraged) to attend but
they are in no way compulsory.
Finally, it would be remiss of us not to mention that our lodge also
welcomes our wives, partners, family and friends
to many of our social functions and events.
