Zetland has a history stretching back 180 years. We meet four times a year at Freemasons Hall 60 Great Queen Street London WC2.

Our membership is a mix of working and retired professionals who work or have worked in London. We are a small but committed and friendly lodge looking forward to celebrating our 200-year anniversary.

Our ritual is Taylors and we are very keen to see this performed at its best. Our festive board is a relaxed affair taken in a local pub. We meet early (3pm) and finish early often around 6.30 pm.

We are proud to be a Hall Stone Lodge.

In June 1919, Grand Lodge held a special meeting at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate peace after the Great War. The Duke of Connaught proposed a memorial for brethren who sacrificed their lives during the war. This memorial, intended to house Freemasonry’s growth, would be built in London. The Masonic Million Memorial Fund was launched to raise one million pounds from English Freemasons to build the ‘Masonic Peace Memorial,’ opened in 1933.

Contributions were recognized with the Hall Stone Jewel, designed by Bro. Cyril Spackman. The jewel symbolizes sacrifice with a cross and dates 1914-1918, featuring a winged figure of peace supporting a Temple. It is suspended by the square and compasses, emblematic symbols in Freemasonry.

Lodges that contributed 10 guineas per member received a gilt silver jewel on a light blue collaret, known as Hall Stone Lodges. Of the 1321 qualifying lodges, 88 were overseas. Their names are inscribed on marble panels at Freemasons’ Hall.

The Zetland Hall Stone Jewel has been worn by the Master since 1931. We are proud to be a Hall Stone Lodge.
