Welcome to the home of Bath Freemasons in the Province of Somerset. Freemasonry has a long and distinguished tradition in Bath dating back to the early 1700's with Lodge minutes existing for a meeting held on December 28th, 1732 at the Bear Inn. The present Masonic Temple is housed in a beautiful listed building, formerly the original Theatre Royal at Old Orchard Street in Bath's historic center. Click here to visit the Old Theatre Royal website.

There are currently seven Craft Lodges meeting at the Temple in Old Orchard Street, Bath plus the Somerset Masters Lodge. Please follow the links on the right for contact details and meeting times.

We are also home to the Royal Cumberland, Royal Sussex and St Luke's Royal Arch Chapters; the Royal Cumberland and Royal Sussex Mark Masons; the Bath Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners; the St Peter & St Paul and the Antiquity Chapters Rose Croix; the Antiquity Encampment and Bladud Preceptory Knights Templar; the Antiquity and Bladud Priory of Knights Hospitaller; the King Edgar Tabernacle Knight Templar Priests; the Commemorative Order of the Knight of Acon; the Wessex Council of Royal and Select Masters and the Allied Masonic Degree of the Frederick Lace Council.
