Did you know these masons were also England football player?

The best-documented England football figures known to have been Freemasons are:

* Sir Alf Ramsey – England player and the manager who led England to the 1966 World Cup victory. The United Grand Lodge of England confirms he joined Waltham Abbey Lodge No. 2750 in Essex in 1953 and remained a member for nearly 30 years.

* Dixie Dean – One of England’s greatest goalscorers, capped 16 times by England. UGLE records state he was initiated into Randle Holme Lodge No. 3261 in Birkenhead in 1930.

* Sir Stanley Matthews – England legend and the first European Footballer of the Year. UGLE states he joined Clifton Lodge No. 703 in Blackpool in 1948.

Somerset Military Lodge – A Day of Pride and Family Tradition

Somerset Military Lodge enjoyed a particularly special meeting as Charles S***t was installed into the Chair of King Solomon. The outgoing Master, Ralph Howard, formally handed over the gavel before Charles was installed by his father (Brother Dad), a Derbyshire Mason who had also conducted all of Charles’s degrees at his mother lodge. Supported by fellow Derbyshire brethren, he delivered a heartfelt and memorable ceremony.

The meeting also saw Brother Ollie Thomas receive his Grand Lodge Certificate, presented by Richard Winter, Past Assistant Provincial Grand Master, marking an important milestone in his Masonic journey.

A day filled with emotion, tradition, and brotherly support, it will be long remembered within Somerset Military Lodge.

We all then retired to the after‑meeting dinner.
