Welcome to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Gloucestershire

Welcome to the Province of Gloucestershire web site providing information about Freemasonry in Gloucestershire and links to other sources of information about Freemasonry.

The first Freemasons’ Lodge (Number 171) was formed at the Wheatsheaf Inn in the City of Gloucester in 1738.  Today there are 80 Lodges in the Province – which is based on the pre-1974 boundaries of Gloucestershire.

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Gloucestershire, administered from The Masonic Hall, Venn’s Acre, Wotton-under Edge, is one of 47 regional grouping of Lodges.

We hope that you will find this web site interesting and that it enables you to find answers to your questions.

Thank you for your interest in Freemasonry - we shall be pleased to assist with individual queries on hearing from you.

Adrian F. R. Davies J.P.
Provincial Grand Master
