About the Lodge of Connaught & Truth
The Lodge of Connaught & 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 early 20s to and late 80s. 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 Greenhead Masonic Hall which located opposite Greenhead College.
We have a varied social calendar which typically includes:
In the Huddersfield District there are a total of 17 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.
