St David's Lodge

Although St. David’s Lodge can trace its history back to 1649, the present Masonic Hall was built in 1872.

Take a rare look around a working Masonic Hall and view the tools and regalia of the craft. You’ll be able to find out about the building's history and the lodges who are based here.

Freemasonry is long established in Berwick and in his history of Berwick published in 1799, Dr John Fuller mentions that at the time there were two lodges in Berwick and one in Tweedmouth. Originally they met in public houses but in 1872, this site was purchased and the present building erected at a cost of £1300 (around £90,000 today).
