HEREWARD LODGE – BOURNE FREEMASONS

History

1868 – In its early years it was known as a “moon lodge”, meaning that meetings took place on Wednesday, on or before the Full Moon, at 7pm in the evening, at the Angel Hotel. In those days there was no “e” in the spelling of Bourne.

1882 – At a meeting it was unanimously carried “that the day of meeting be altered from the Wednesday to the Friday on or before each full moon”.

1938 – At a building on Wherry’s Lane, the new Bourne Masonic Temple was consecrated.

1968 – The Centenary meeting was held at the County Secondary School Bourne.

1982 – A second Craft Lodge was formed that shares the premises. The Lodge of Aveland became our daughter lodge, number 9060.

2011 – Premises on Wherry’s Lane were sold and a new property on Roman Bank acquired. This was consecrated in September 2011.

2018 – The Hereward Lodge celebrates its 150th year anniversary.
