About Us

Based in Birmingham, we aim to give an overview of our Freemasons Lodge's current activities, history and traditions, together with some information about Freemasonry in general.

Freemasonry provides a unique environment for people from all backgrounds to make lasting friendships and, above all, have fun. We hope to demonstrate the breadth and diversity of our Masonic activities (mostly charitable, sometimes purely social, always enjoyable) and that this will encourage potential future members to come forward to find out more.

Even if you do not have any existing Masonic acquaintances, by all means Contact us by e-mail, giving us a few details about yourself and why you are interested in joining. We would be very happy to introduce you to Masefield Lodge Members to talk and answer any questions you may have.

Meeting in Kings Heath (BIRMINGHAM) Masefield Lodge meets seven times each year, on the second Monday of the month from October to April inclusive. This is followed by a meal and refreshments where we enjoy good food and interesting conversation amongst Masonic company.

We hold our regular meetings are at the Masonic Hall, 221 Alcester Road South, Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 6DT.

Each month's meeting begins usually at about 6 p.m., when the Lodge is opened, minutes of the previous meeting are read, followed by the general business of the Lodge, concluding at around 7.45 p.m.

These meetings are open to Brethren of the Lodge, and their invited Masonic guests from other Lodges.

It is important to note, Freemasonry as a body will never express a view on politics or state policy. The discussion of politics at Masonic meetings has always been prohibited.

Under the United Grand Lodge of England, there are over a quarter of a million Freemasons.
