OUR HISTORY

HARRINGTON LODGE HISTORY

Discover the Legacy of Harrington Lodge:
A Pillar of Freemasonry in Long Eaton

Harrington Lodge, an esteemed part of the Freemasonry community in Long Eaton, has a history that dates back to the late 1920s

In September 1928, dedicated Freemasons took the first steps to establish a new lodge, proudly named after the Earl of Harrington. With the Earl's blessing and the support of the Past Masters and Brethren of the Fairfield Lodge, Harrington Lodge was officially formed. Our Warrant was issued on 6th February 1929, and the lodge was consecrated on 11th June 1929 at the Pavilion Hotel in Long Eaton. Since then, Harrington Lodge has grown into a respected institution, committed to the values of brotherhood, charity, and personal growth.
