Open Doors - Ruthin Masonic Hall

Ruthin Freemasons invite you to view the Temple, which is upstairs in the Cloisters behind St Peter’s Church.

The Old Cloisters date from 1310. It wasn’t until 1646 that the first evidence of an English Freemason was recorded with the Initiation of Elias Ashmole in Warrington.

Freemasonry came to Ruthin when The Gabriel Goodman Masonic Lodge was consecrated in October 1923, and the freemasons met in The Castle Hotel, before moving to Goodman’s Stone School in January 1924. They eventually moved to The Old Cloisters in September 1957 when the current Masonic Temple was dedicated, and where meetings have been held ever since.
