At Burghley Lodge, we believe Freemasonry is about people.

While we are proud of our traditions and history, what truly makes our Lodge special is the atmosphere. Whether you've lived in Stamford all your life or have recently moved to the area, you'll find a genuine welcome from members who simply enjoy each other's company.

Our meetings are only one part of Lodge life. Throughout the year we enjoy social evenings, dining together, family events, visits to other Lodges and opportunities to support local charities and community projects.

Many friendships made within Burghley Lodge extend well beyond our meetings.

Our Story

Burghley Lodge No. 9364 was consecrated on 31 March 1990 and proudly takes its name from one of England's finest Elizabethan houses—Burghley House.

From its foundation, the Lodge has been built on the principles of friendship, integrity, respect and service. Over the years, members have welcomed men of all ages, professions and backgrounds, creating a Lodge that values diversity of experience whilst sharing common values.

Today, Burghley Lodge continues to grow, combining traditional Freemasonry with a modern, welcoming approach.

Who Can Join?

Freemasonry welcomes men from every background, profession and culture.
