Warrington Museum of Freemasonry

Warrington Masonic Hall was designed and built in 1932 1933, the locally listed building has two stone columns at the entrance that dominate Winmarleigh Street.
In 1826 a group of Masonic Lodges in the North of England, predominately in Liverpool, felt very strongly that The United Grand Lodge of England(UGLE) based in London, was ignoring their communications and requests.
The situation became ever more tense until there was the 'Liverpool Rebellion', several Lodges under the leadership of Alexander Gage decided to secede from the UGLE and form their own separate Grand Lodge. This became known as the Grand Lodge at Wigan (GLW)
We will have on display artefacts from the rebellion including Gages masonic apron that have not been displayed or seen since 1913, and the GLW Grand Masters Chair.
