| Wisborough Green Lodge Number 8049 was Consecrated
on 20th October, 1965 under the aegis of the United Grand
Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of England.
The Ceremony of Consecration was conducted by the Provincial
Grand Master of Sussex assisted by a team of Consecrating
Officers. Since that time the Lodge has met continuously
in the Village Hall, Wisborough Green, except for three
months in 1975 when there was extensive building work done
to the Village Hall. This work was undertaken by Balchin
the builders, of whom Albert Price was the first Initiate
into the Lodge. A Founding Member of the Lodge was the Rev.
John E.Penney, who was Vicar of Wisborough Green for many
years.
Currently there are 34 Members who meet 6 times per year
to undertake the work of the Lodge, dine, and collect funds
which are distributed to Charities both nationwide through
The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution and locally such
as St. Catherine's Hospice. The Lodge Banner was dedicated
in 1977, and was the work of Wisborough Green local Artist,
Mr. Pat Gierth. A stylised copy of this adorns the Lodge
paperwork.
During the early part of 2002 the Lodge created its own
web-site on the Internet. Visitors can visit the web-site
at http://www.wisborough-green-lodge.co.uk
where they can gain more information about Freemasonry generally
and the Lodge in particular. The content has approval for
publication from the United Grand Lodge of England.
