Originally formed in 1955, the Old Lutonians' Lodge was established for "the convenience of Old Lutonians, that is to say, gentlemen who have been educated at Luton Modern School, subsequently Luton Grammar School, or masters, present and past, of that school". Although the school itself no longer exists, the Lodge remains faithful to the principles of the Founders, and the early traditions of the Lodge. Membership is no longer restricted to former pupils or Masters of the School.
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. We are a secular society open to men of any race, religion, political belief or status.
Based upon the traditions of medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals, we still use the stonemason’s tools as symbols of our aim to ‘build’ better men and a better world for everyone, whatever their background.
As Freemasons, we use four principles to help define our path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity. In our present uncertain times, these principles are as important today as they have ever been.
Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
With a membership of more than 150,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society..
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
