Masonic Lodge

The Freemasons have been active in Haworth since the end of eighteenth century when the Prince George Lodge first met at the Old White Lion at the top of the village. Another lodge, The Three Graces are recorded to have met at the nearby Black Bull and by 1812 the two lodges had been amalgamated, later moving to private rooms in Lodge Street. Branwell Brontë was proposed and accepted into the Masonic lodge here on 29 February 1836, becoming secretary in 1837. His last recorded meeting is in 1842.

The Lodge at Mill Hey was built in 1907 and held its first meeting in December of that year. It continues as a Masonic lodge to this day.
