Liverpool Masonic Hall Building

It is incredible to think that medieval Freemasons could have been in Liverpool and worked on the construction of Liverpool Castle as early as 1238. Freemasonry has maintained strong links with stone masons. Members who, more recently, worked on Liverpool Cathedral would more than likely have attended Lodge meetings at Hope Street Masonic Hall. If you have taken part in our St James Cemetery tour, you will have seen the number of graves belonging to Freemasons who lived in Liverpool at that time and perhaps attended lodge meetings at this Masonic Hall. This tour adds to the social history of Liverpool and complements our Georgian Liverpool Tour. It also provides the opportunity to see the inside of a number of Masonic Lodge Rooms that are still in actual use, including the Roman Room and Egyptian Room - as well as seeing the working tools of Freemasonry. You will also be able to find out more about Freemasonry, what it stands for and have your questions answered by your guide.
