The Provincial Grand Master

John Lockley (the Head of Freemasonry in Staffordshire)

Thank you for looking at our website and for thinking about Freemasonry.

We are a Society which values friendship, charity and the pursuit of integrity above other ambitions. You can trawl the internet for information about us, but do not believe all you come across or read. We are incredibly open about our beliefs and our meetings. It is easy to contact a Lodge which is near to you and find out more about us, face to face.

Our beliefs are compatible with all religions which believe in a Supreme Power. As a member you will never be asked to do anything which is incompatible with your civil, moral or religious duties and you are not allowed to use your membership for personal advantage.

If you are interested we will be happy to talk to you. Please make use of the contact numbers and e-mail addresses on our contact page.

For me Freemasonry is a way of life, if we all lived by its values, the world would be a much better place.

A brief history of our Province

The first recorded Lodge of 'free and accepted Masons' is evidenced in the diary of Elias Ashmole, the renowned Lichfieldian, Antiquary and Founder of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
He records being made a Freemason in 1646 at a Lodge held at his father-in-law's house at Warrington.
Ashmole listed those present and none had any connection with operative stonemasons.
