In the story of Weston-super-Mare there is an old and oft repeated tradition that the adjoining village of Kewstoke was named after St. Kew. He, it was said, was a hermit who lived in a cell, the ruins of which may still be traced, in a ravine climbed by a long flight of stone steps leading from Kewstoke Church to the top of Worle Hill. The ravine is known as the “Pass of St. Kew” or Monks-Steps The St. Kew Lodge was consecrated in the year 1868 and is the daughter Lodge of the Lodge of Agriculture, No. 1199

Meets at 18:30 except Oct on the second Friday and Nov on the third Friday
Months – Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Oct (Installation 17:00), Nov and Dec

King Alfred Lodge is a large friendly Lodge which was founded in 1906, being formed from St Kew Lodge, the original Masonic Lodge in Weston-super-Mare. The Lodge celebrated its centenary in 2006 and has a proud, long history and therefore traditions, which we maintain.

Our members are drawn from every walk of life and age group and include accountants, skilled tradesmen, engineers, business owners, ex-military personnel and teachers. We welcome members from all walks of life.

We are an inclusive lodge which activity encourages our members to take part in our ceremonies, to progress through the offices of the Lodge and eventually become the Master of the lodge. We aim for a high standard of ritual. New members are mentored, by experienced Brethren, through the stages of becoming a Mason and on joining the Lodge for the early parts of their membership.

As well as holding our regular meetings, the Lodge has social evenings such as quiz nights, dinner dances, which are called Ladies Festivals, and regular charity fund raising events. We have a varied, interesting and enjoyable social life, specifically designed to include something for everyone. Members are invited to include Families and Partners in all our social events.

Months – Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr (Installation 16:30), May (3rd Fri), Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec (3rd Fri)

Consecrated on 1st June 1920, Wessex Lodge was fortunate enough to have 59 Founder Members, the vast majority of which were already Members of the other Two Lodges meeting at Weston, St Kew and King Alfred. Wessex Lodge is small but friendly lodge which meets in Weston Super Mare on a Friday night. As a lodge we believe strongly in family support and invite family and friends to join us for the evening at least once a year and usually hold a Ladies Evening or Lunch in early April. We are a fun group who raise money for local charities and good causes, with a relaxed approach to Freemasonry but we are very sincere in our ceremonies.
Our members come from a a wide age range and a broad background including such diverse occupations as builders, accountants, pest control operatives, council highways managers and many more. With such a broad spectrum of people it will be of no surprise that the member’s interests are also wide ranging with hobbies including motor-cycling, classic cars, D.I.Y. and gardening to name but a few.
