Tilsmore Masonic Lodge

29/08/2026

It's been a long hot summer and sometime since brethren met together at their temples. Most lodges still have a month or more before their year starts again. If that sounds like you and you're missing a fraternal evening gathering then Tilsmore has the answer.
On 15th September the lodge is holding an emergency meeting to pass one of its number. This is an open meeting and you are welcome to come along and support our brother as he takes his second regular step in Masonry. The meeting does not start until 6 pm and a festive board will follow.
If you are willing to support us then contact Ellott, who's email and telephone number is at the start of our page, and he will give you full details as to our location. Tilsmore is a Sussex workings lodge but with its own special and interesting peculiarities. There is a large free car park at the site and so parking is not a problem. We hope to hear from you soon if you have the evening free.

Last night the brethren of Tilsmore Lodge 4499 gathered together for the installation of their new master, W.Bro. Tom Cook.
The Temple was filled to capacity as Tom, a mason for over 60 years, took his oath and was placed in the chair.
The ensuing festive board became 2 hours of fellowship and laughter as Lodge members and visiting guests came together for feast and fun.
In true "Tom" style memories and anecdotes came out which kept those gathered amused throughout the evening.
Our photo shows Tom, along with some of his officers and lodge members, in the temple after the Installation

The lodge has now ceased labour until January 2026 when we hope to welcome two new csndidates. A first double initiation for the lodge in its 102 year existence.
