Frequently Asked Questions about Freemasonry
Members of the public who are not Masons are often curious about us. This is perfectly understandable. If you want to know anything about Freemasonry then just ask a Mason. They will tell you anything that you want to know about our Order. It's not a big secret, there are libraries full of books about Freemasonry!
But what about the secrecy etc!
The secrecy that Masons observe is in respect of their means of recognition. Asking them to break that promise would be like asking them for the PIN number for the door at the Labour Club! Only members are allowed to know it. Not unreasonable!
That said, we Masons are a friendly and likeable bunch of people, in the main, who, as a rule, don't mind talking about what we do. So ask one if you want to know anything or if you are interested in talking to us about our Lodge in particular then e mail the Lodge Secretary.
The United Grand Lodge of England have produced two excellent booklets:

recommend that you download them and read it at your leisure. You
