Freemasons'
Hall, Arthur Square, Belfast
Re-opened in September 2007, after a £2
million refurbishment.
Centrally located in the historical heart of Belfast (in 1798, Henry
Joy McCracken, a Mason and United Irishman was hanged in adjacent
Corn Market), and now the gateway to the spectacular Victoria Square
shopping development,
Freemasons’ Hall was originally designed
and built by Sir Charles Lanyon, renowned architect of Queen’s University,
Belfast, and many other landmark buildings.
Freemasons’ Hall, Arthur Square is available
to a broad range of groups and organizations for corporate events,
meetings, large and small social gatherings, etc., and offers a
key address for collection box distribution, survey collation and
much more…

Lodge Number: 3372
P.O. Box 1571 Middelburg, South
Africa
Consecrated: 1910
Belfast, named after the home town of its
founder, a Mr O'Brien, is the centre of an important farming area.
Most of the founders came from the sponsoring Lodge, Astrea, which
at that time met in Machadodorp and the lack of reliable transport
made attendance at the Lodge very difficult. However, with many
of the brethren being farmers, comforting festive boards were assured.

Glittering
Star Masonic Lodge No. 322 I.C.
The Warrant No. 322 from the Grand
Lodge of Ireland, dated 3rd May 1759 was issued for a Masonic Lodge
in the British 29th Regiment of Foot. The Glittering Star Travelling
Masonic Lodge is still closely associated with the Regiment.
During the Boston Massacre in 1768
the 29th along with the 14th Regiment of Foot were sent to Boston,
Massachusetts, where, on the evening of March 5, men of the 29th
Grenadier Company under the command of Captain Thomas Preston took
part in the Boston Massacre in which five colonists died during
a riot in front of the Boston customs house. Due to the incident,
the regiment earned the nickname the "Vein Openers" for
drawing first blood in the American Revolution.
