Freemasonry at Harrogate Masonic Hall

Harrogate Masonic Hall stands as a proud symbol of Freemasonry’s enduring values – integrity, friendship, respect, & service.

Since its cornerstone was laid on October 3rd, 1930 by Brother Richard Gill JR PCD, Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Yorkshire West Riding, the Hall has served as a dedicated meeting place for Freemasons across North Yorkshire.

A Legacy of Light

Freemasonry traces its origins to the medieval stonemasons’ guilds of Europe, evolving over centuries into a global fraternity committed to moral development, community service, and personal growth. The principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth remain central to every lodge meeting and Masonic gathering.

Harrogate Masonic Hall is home to six active Lodges, each with its own rich history and traditions. Among them:

Harrogate & Claro Lodge No. 1001
Consecrated in 1864, this is the oldest lodge in Harrogate. Its name reflects the historical “Claro” wapentake, a Saxon territorial division encompassing Harrogate and Ripon. The Lodge meets monthly and welcomes members from diverse backgrounds and professions. Website
