Welcome to the home of Freemasonry in the
Province of West Lancashire.

These pages will provide Freemasons and Non Masons alike with a host of information on the activities around the Province of West Lancashire and information on the Mission, Objectives and Values that Freemasons hold so dear.

A ‘Rolling Plan’ for the development of our Province

INTO THE FUTURE ...

For several months Provincial Grand Master Peter Hosker and those who advise him, have been planning and putting together a structure for securing the successful ongoing development of Freemasonry in West Lancashire.

Its purpose is to analyse our work as Masons and, by constantly rolling forward, looking to a horizon of five years, review our aspirations and monitor our outcomes. It is designed to be questioning, flexible and constantly evolving, and part of its intention is to share with all West Lancashire Masons the steps being taken to fulfil the purposes of Freemasonry in the world of today, and tomorrow.

It is a serious and analytical document, but it is hoped it will be read with interest by all who have the future of The Craft at heart.

It is hoped that brethren will discuss the Rolling Plan in their lodges and elsewhere, and contribute any comments they wish to The Province, via this website.

Interest in Freemasonry among younger men is growing. Many new younger Masons find their way to us via our website. We asked Matt, a member of a lodge in Liverpool, to write a blog about his early experiences as a Mason. Click here to read Matt’s first article:
