The Province

One of 48 Provinces

The United Grand Lodge of England has 48 Provinces in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It says each Province is presided over by a Provincial Grand Master, assisted by Provincial officers. Districts overseas sit outside that list of 48.

Worcestershire’s own site is worcestershirefreemasons.com. The telephone published for the Provincial office is 01527 879300. This page does not use the Province’s arms or logo.

Our own lodge meets at Ashlar House in Kings Heath, not at the Bromsgrove office. Directions are on the visiting page, and the lodge’s story is on the history page.
