A vibrant & welcoming community
Welcome to Dedham Vale Lodge, located in the heart of Manningtree, where tradition meets progress in a unique and thriving community.
We pride ourselves on our supportive and mentoring environment, where new ideas are not only welcomed, but encouraged. We believe in fostering an inclusive atmosphere, welcoming individuals from all walks of life who share our values of integrity, friendship, respect, and service.
As part of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), we carry on the traditions of one of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world. Rooted in the traditions of medieval stonemasons, Freemasonry empowers its members to be the best they can be, fostering personal development and contributing positively to society through charity and community outreach.
We are actively looking for new members to join us, so be sure to get in touch today for a friendly informal conversation.
