Special Interest Lodges in Cheshire
Cheshire Combined Services Lodge No. 2916
CCSL is the Province of Cheshire’s only dedicated Combined Services Lodge, open to all serving and retired military and Emergency Services personnel. We have members from His Majesty King Charles III’s Royal Navy, Army, and RAF, together with members from the Fire Service, Police Service, and Medical profession.
Cheshire Combined Services Lodge (CCSL) held its first meeting on 28 October 2022, having gained approval from United Grand Lodge to have the Warrant from William Hesketh Lever Lodge No. 2961 (Hall Stone Jewel Lodge) reassigned, thus ensuring the important legacy and history are preserved within the Province of Cheshire.
Communications Lodge No. 2961
Formed in 2022 from the Duke of Connaught Lodge No 2961, Communications Lodge’s objective is not simply to be different for the sake of it, but to create a memorable and engaging environment within the Lodge. We aspire to foster meaningful conversations, showcase modern Lodge operations, and create a space conducive to effective communication and shared best practices. Looking ahead, discussions have centred around making the Lodge a hub for positive conversations around the 7-year strategy. We aim to invite a member of the steering group to our meetings for updates—a proposition that has received significant backing. Additionally, we intend to share valuable practices, discussing topics like creating a Lodge newsletter, community engagement, and strategies for attracting new members.
Coronation Lodge No. 2927
The Lodge is founded on ‘Reflections of Truth’ and is strongly influenced by Worshipful Brother Wilmshurst and his approach to Freemasonry and the ‘return to the Centre.’ Wilmhurst’s Lodge, ‘The Lodge of the Living Stones,’ was formed in the 1920s in Yorkshire and is still operative, and the Coronation Lodge will adhere to similar principles with an arcane and esoteric view of Freemasonry and its rituals. The Lodge will explore the ‘hidden Mysteries of Nature and Science’ and into ‘that most interesting and necessary of human studies, the Knowledge of Oneself.’ We are honoured to have Brother Robert Lomas as the Lodge Mentor. We are happy to share our journey with any sincere Brother.
