About

Discover the history of the Pontefract Masonic Hall through a guided tour and learn about the symbolism and traditions of ancient Freemasonry.

The first Masonic Hall in Pontefract was above Arundel’s Offices in Ropergate in 1862. In 1892, land at the end of Ropergate was purchased for £375 to purpose build a new hall, which was completed in 1894.

The current building, situated at the corner of Ackworth Road and Carleton Road was built around 1890 and serves as a meeting place for 7 Masonic Lodges. The inside of the Masonic Hall includes the Temple, where Masonic meetings are held, and viewing is a unique experience.
