Interested in joining? Meetings & venue
Welcome
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest social and charitable organisations. It brings together people of all backgrounds who share four core values: integrity, friendship, respect and charity. Our members enjoy regular meetings, good company at the dining table and supporting local and national charities.
The name Sartoris honours the Sartoris family of Rushden Hall, whose alms-houses still stand opposite the Masonic Centre. The Lodge and the Chapter share the number 9497, and many of our members belong to both. Read the history of the Lodge.
