OUR LODGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a name on a summons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ulster Lodge was founded in London by men with roots in Ulster. The idea was first discussed among members of the Ulster Association during an outing on the Thames, before becoming reality at the Hotel Cecil in 1903.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the Lodge has brought together men from many walks of life. Its story reaches from Edwardian London and two world wars to Freemasons\u2019 Hall today. The people, friendships and traditions are what make that history worth telling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
