Excerpt from the booklet created for the sesquicentennial (150 years) celebration held on June 10 2016 -
Although there was no Mirfield Masonic Lodge in Mirfield 150 years ago, there is ample evidence to show that there were Freemasons in the town. Nelson of the Nile Lodge, now No. 264, met at the Black Bull Hotel, Mirfield, in what was then the West Riding of Yorkshire, as far back as 1816, and later for three or four years, from 1818 to 1822, at the Freemasons’ Arms, Hopton, when it was removed to the Three Nuns Inn, where it remained until 1830. Early in 1865 a number of Brethren residing in Mirfield, mostly members of the Three Grand Principles Lodge No. 208, Dewsbury, and Amphibious Lodge No. 258, Heckmondwike, met together and discussed the advisability of forming a Masonic Lodge in Mirfield. Rooms were eventually found in the Assembly Rooms adjoining the Black Bull Inn, Mirfield.
A petition was prepared for a warrant for a Lodge to be held in these rooms and called ‘Mirfield Lodge.’ This petition was signed by four Brethren from the three Grand Principles Lodge No. 208, four from Amphibious Lodge No. 258, one from Nelson of the Nile Lodge No. 264, and one from Samaritan Lodge No. 286, of Bacup., find out what Freemasonry is all about and the charitable causes we support and raise money for all around the World.
