Freemasonry is more than 600 years old and is open to all with orders for men and for women. Freemasons are one of the largest charitable givers in the country, contributing more than £51m to good causes in 2021.
Freemasonry, or Masonry, refers to fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 13th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients.
The degrees of Freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and a Master Mason.
The candidate of these three degrees is progressively taught the meanings of the symbols of Freemasonry and entrusted with grips, signs, and words.
These degrees form Craft Freemasonry, and members of any of these degrees are known as Freemasons. There are additional degrees, such as Royal Arch, Mark Masons and Knights Templar.
