Have you ever wondered about Freemasonry and how its members have influenced our language, architecture, culture and society? Now is your chance to find out more!
Whilst we appreciate there may be many other exciting pastimes to tempt students from their studies, there may be some of you who have an interest in Freemasonry and would like to find out more (without obligation or commitment). Did you know for instance, that much of the architecture in the City of Bath is suspected to have been inspired by Freemasonry? You may have already seen a TV programme: Best Buildings in Britain with Dan Cruickshank exploring this assumption.
You may also be surprised to learn that several Universities already have links with their local Masonic Lodges where membership amongst others may consist of students and academic staff alike. Examples include Oxford University Cambridge University Durham University Exeter University and Bristol University There is even a Research Centre at Sheffield University dedicated to this interesting topic. The United Grand Lodge of England has a University section on its website at UGLE
St Alphege Lodge in the City of Bath has been selected by UGLE to establish links with The University of Bath and Bath Spa University. If you would like more information please make contact by email using the following link to the Lodge Secretary.
A Discussion Group has been set up on Facebook if you would like to see what views are being expressed by other young people. And it's not "just for the boys" either! Women's Freemasonry is well represented and very strong in this country. The all-women's Lodge Aquae Sulis meets regularly in Bath and enquiries can be addressed by email using the following link to the Lodge Secretary.
