What is Freemasonry?

Freemasonry is based on three principals. Brotherly love, relief and truth.

Freemasonry dates back to the 17th Century and now exists in may forms all over the world. There are some 5 Million Freemasons around the globe. Here in the UK it is governed by the United Grand Lodge of England and closer to home in Surrey, Purley Freemasons Lodge is under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Surrey.

At the heart of all that we do is charity. Donations are made from three levels - United Grand Lodge of England, London and Provinces and private individual lodges. Donations are regularly made to Masonic charities for brethren in distress or to assist wives, widows and families. Non Masonic organizations also benefit greatly from the generosity of Freemasons.
