Derwent Lodge - Freemasonry in Hastings and Sussex
The Worshipful Master, Past Masters, Officers and Brethren of Derwent Lodge wish you a very warm welcome to our website. With over 200 years of active freemasonry we are sure that you will find the information on our site of interest. We are an active Masonic Lodge based at the Masonic Hall in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex.
Freemasonry means many different things to Masons. For some it is about making new friends and acquaintances. For others it is about raising money for charity and for many Masons it is about the way we live our lives, respect for our community and others. For some, of course, it is about all these things.
At Derwent Lodge we welcome contact from Freemasons and non-Freemasons alike. If you are a Freemason visiting our area and would like to attend a meeting please do not hesitate to use our contact page to get all the details. If you are not a Freemason but would like more information please see our Join Us page.
