Godalming Masonic Hall
Ockford Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 1RQ
The original Masonic Hall in Godalming was built around 1888 in South Street and was replaced by the current Masonic Centre, opposite the Inn on the Lake in 1988, when the Council undertook a major redevelopment of the town centre to relieve traffic congestion in the High Street. Whilst the current Masonic Centre is only some 37 years old, it was significantly refurbished internally during the COVID pandemic. Despite this refurbishment it continues to showcase several features from the original building, including the large stone fireplace, two beautiful stained glass windows, several ornate chairs and a variety of other masonic items still in regular use in the temple today.
This year’s Heritage theme of “Architecture” resonates with Freemasonry as many masons were involved in building cathedrals and stately edifices not only in the United Kingdom, but across the world. It is worth mentioning that both Masonic Centres were designed and built by local architects and builders who were also freemasons.
Plans of the current one will be on display in the main hall and our talks in the temple will make reference to those themes.
Local freemasons will be on hand to answer questions on these and other topics of masonic interest.
