Welcome
Welcome to the Royal York Lodge.
The Lodge held its first meetings under the name of the Royal Cinque Ports Lodge in Seaford, Sussex, from 1797 but has been meeting in Brighton since 1823.
The Lodge has survived and prospered through tumultuous and interesting times from Nelson's defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile in 1798, the Act of Union in 1800, the Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo, Charles Darwin's voyage of discovery on the Beagle, the Crimean War, the murders of Jack the Ripper and, of course, the First and Second World Wars.
The Lodge holds its meetings, along with many other lodges, at the Sussex Masonic Centre, Queens Road, Brighton and it is delighted to be able to make itself known and provide information through this web site. The purpose of the web site is to provide a meeting place for members of the Lodge to be kept informed of news and special events and as a gateway for those visitors who may wish to take their interest further by contacting the Lodge by using the form on the 'Contact' page. In addition, for general information about Freemasonry in Sussex or Freemasonry in general, please follow these links:
