ASHBY MASONIC CENTRE

 

Warranted 1975, Consecrated 1976

In 1974 it was considered that Freemasonry in Ashby-de-la-Zouch was well able to support another Lodge and the Brethren of Ferrers & Ivanhoe Lodge No.779 succesfully applied for the formation of such a Lodge. Its Consecration was conducted by R.W. Bro. Brig.C.B.S. Morley PGM who took the opportunity of reminding the Lodge 'that you may no longer introduce vocal music into your ceremonies, save for the opening and closing Odes and your response to prayer'. Meetings were held in the Lodge Room in the Town Hall, Market Street, Ashby and the Brethren dined at the Royal Hotel, Bath Street, Ashby. In 1981 work was completed on the present Lodge Room which was consecrated by R.W. Bro. G.C. Taylor, PGM on10th November 1981.
