Welcome to the Lodge of Research!

We’re a unique Freemasons’ Lodge in Leicester, focussing on historical research rather than ritual. Our mission is to inspire members to explore Masonic history, present their findings at our meetings, and share their work with the wider community through publication.

The Lodge of Research has earned a global reputation for its pioneering contributions to Masonic history. Our membership has included many of the most respected Masonic scholars of the last century.

Interested in joining us? While full membership is limited, our Correspondence Circle welcomes all Master Masons in good standing. The annual subscription of £20 includes a copy of our published Transactions.

We meet three times a year for lectures and discussions.
