About The Lodge
The Chilterns Lodge No 4634The Chilterns Lodge No 4634
The Chilterns Lodge, established in 1924, proudly meets four times a year at the Beaconsfield Masonic Centre. In addition to our in-person gatherings, we have embraced technology with regular online meetings every two weeks, ensuring our members remain connected and engaged.
As a Lodge, we are a close-knit and welcoming community, working diligently over recent years to grow our membership. Our efforts have been fruitful, and we recently celebrated the initiation of three new members, demonstrating our commitment to fostering the next generation of Freemasons.
A Legacy of Charity and Service
At the heart of Freemasonry is the desire to help others, and the Chilterns Lodge is no exception. Our Lodge has been actively involved in charitable work, supporting both local and national causes. We are proud of the impact we have made, and we continue to dedicate ourselves to serving those in need.
Celebrating 100 Years of Brotherhood
As we approach September 2024, the Chilterns Lodge is honoured to celebrate a remarkable milestone – our Centenary. This 100th anniversary will be marked by a special Centenary Meeting, featuring a reconsecration ceremony and the rededication of our Lodge banners. This historic occasion will not only reflect on our rich heritage but also affirm our ongoing commitment to the future of Freemasonry.
