About Us

Lime-stone Rock Masonic Lodge was established in 1822 by Henry Roberts, a designer and portrait artist whose self-portrait still hangs in the lodge today. The Freemasons Lodge first met in the Grammar School in Saint Mary’s Church yard which is now situated in York Street. The Freemasons Lodge in those days consisted of local trades people and is still made up of similar individuals to this day. The lodge meets in the Masonic Rooms above the Conservative Club in Clitheroe on the second Thursday of the months of February, March, April, May, September, October, November, and December.

The Masonic Lodge is a true testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its members.

The Installation Ceremony was performed at Lime-stone Rock Lodge on the 13th November 2025. The Installation is a ceremonial event where new leaders take office within a Masonic lodge for the ensuing year and it is a celebration of our history and traditions which date back over two hundred years. The new Master is pictured together with his officers and other Lodge members who enjoyed a superb evening where all enjoyed the camaraderie and cordial atmosphere within the Lodge. Numerous visitors attended the ceremony and the dinner afterwards at the Assembly Rooms on Lowergate in Clitheroe and all members of the Lodge look forward to the forthcoming year with optimism and excitement for the next twelve months.
