Historical Background of The Rahere Lodge No. 2546
Founded in 1895 as the Lodge for Barts Hospital, our members still typically have a connection to healthcare, though there is no prerequisite. The extensive and international membership maintains a happy balance of senior Masons, younger professionals, and students, creating a supportive and relaxed atmosphere with good networking opportunities. We meet in a historic and beautiful location, perform the Ceremony to a high standard, and dine just as well. We welcome inquiries from individuals of all religions and backgrounds, particularly those connected with healthcare, Barts, or Queen Mary University of London.
