About
About USWe are a Masonic Lodge which meets at the Franklin Rooms Masonic Centre, Gillingham. We have been in existence since 1911, and are always open to meeting new challenges and welcoming new people.
What’s it all about
Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, who’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles many years ago.
What’s it all about
stonemasons often travelled around to find work in different locations. To demonstrate their level of qualification, they would use grips, words and signs in order to distinguish themselves from unqualified builders.
What’s it all about
Freemasonry uses building analogies to teach members how to lead productive lives that benefit the communities they live in. Freemasons meet today to build friendships and communities, rather than cathedrals and castles.

My Freemasonry
Adey Bankole is one of our Lodges newer members, joining in January 2024. From a position of knowing very little about the craft, Adey has progressed stedily and is now one of our most promising newcomers. Adey Says:
“Freemasonry to me has been how I imagined it to be and more. I am in awe of its principles, and the Norman Lodge has been very influential in molding my current preception.”
Adey has recently become a fellowcraft freemason, and is well on target to progress further. He added:
“I am glad to be a part of something that is bigger than me, that also makes me a better version of myself.”
