Welcome
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest social and charitable organisations. It brings together men of all backgrounds who share values of integrity, friendship, respect and service to others. Our members enjoy regular meetings, good company at the dining table and supporting local and national charities.
The name Sartoris honours the Sartoris family, whose association with Rushden is remembered in the town today. The Lodge and the Chapter share the number 9497, and many of our members belong to both.
