Visit to Masonic Hall, home of Freemasonry.


Our visit to the above building on 8th September was very interesting.

After coffee and a short talk we were given a tour of the building, I think we were all surprised how large these buildings are, the architecture and design of the rooms, especially the Temples is lovely. A interesting fact was an architect was appointed in 1904/5 to design suitable meeting rooms , he was Mr Albert Havers (Great Grandfather of the Actor Nigel Havers) from London.
Walking up St Giles you would find it hard to realise what lovely gardens are attached to the sides or back of each building.
