Freemasonry in Bermuda
There are three Grand Lodges represented in Bermuda: The District Grand Lodge of Bermuda of the United Grand Lodge of England with 5 Lodges, The Grand Lodge of Scotland with 3 Lodges under a Grand Superintendent and the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bermuda of the Grand Lodge of Ireland with 4 Lodges. Bermuda, a self governing colony of England with it's own Westminster style Parliament, is located 564 nautical miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 788 nautical miles north of Nassau, Bahamas, at 64 degrees, 47 minutes, 02 seconds West and 32 degrees, 17 minutes, 30 seconds North. We use Atlantic time (1 hour ahead of Eastern) and our population is 55,000. Freemasonry existed in Bermuda in 1744-45 (earliest historical record), when the Earl of Strathmore, Grand Master of England appointed a Provincial Grand Master for the Islands of Bermuda. Oldest Lodges are Prince Alfred No 233 (EC), originally chartered under the Moderns in 1792 as No 507, and later in 1801 under the Ancients, Lodge St. George No 200 (SC), date of Charter 7th August 1797 and Atlantic Phoenix No 224 (EC) date of Charter 9th August 1797. The latter two celebrated 200 years in 1997. Click here for a map showing all our Lodge locations
