About the Lodge of Truth
 |
The Lodge of Truth No
521 has been an integral part of Huddersfield life since
1845. It is Lodge which is rich in cultural heritage,
with 155 years of continuous history it was formed at the
same time as national instutitions such as the Grand
National and the University of Manchester! A Lodge of Freemasons can be considered a "community" in its own right. What we share in common is an enjoyment of Freemasonry, a philanthropic, social and charitable organisation. It offers a unique opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds who share a high regard for ethics, independent of religious or political convictions. |

| The ceremonies are a
unique part of Freemasonry, and serve to remind of us our
duty to society, without being sanctimonious. They are
just as relevant to today's society as when they were
first being developed over two-hundred years ago. Our membership is just over forty, and our age range is between 24 to 81 years old. We come from all works of life, for example salesman, engineer, manager, IT consultant, care assistant, joiner, storeman, policeman and fireman. For many of our members Freemasonry adds an extra "dimension" to their leisure-time as it is unique organisation. Lodge night is on the first Friday of every month, with a Lodge of Instruction being held every Monday (except Bank Holiday). We meet at Freemason's Hall on Fitzwilliam Street which is just behind Huddersfield train station. The hall itself is an historic building. Fitzwilliam Street was the first purpose-built Masonic Hall in the Province, and as well as being the longest surviving, is a Grade II listed building. |

We have a varied
social calendar which typically includes:
The building is shared with Connaught Lodge No. 3800 (our daughter Lodge) and Concord Lodge No. 4126. In the Huddersfield District there are a total of 19 Lodges, each with their own Lodge meetings and social calendar. In fact, you would probably be amazed of how much masonic activity goes on in Huddersfield! |
