Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service
Our membership comes from across Knighton, Presteigne and the surrounding villages and beyond. We are part of one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, an inclusive and hospitable society, who welcome members from all races, creeds and backgrounds. While we are located in Wales, Teme Lodge in Knighton is part of the Shropshire Province. However, we are dedicated to working with local communities on both sides of the border.
Where we're based
You can find us at Whitton Community Hall, in the Old School, Whitton, Knighton, LD7 1NP. We meet on the third Tuesday in the month, from September to April and the fourth Tuesday in October.
Our Values
Integrity
Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today's Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
Friendship
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
Respect
With a membership of more than 200,000 people drawn from communities across the UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Service
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions, both in charitable giving and volunteer work to and for our communities and worthwhile causes.
