BEAUCHAMP LODGE 1422 - The West Kent Military Lodge
Moving Forward
The Beauchamp Lodge has during its 150 year history seen some difficult times; but in true military fashion it has always looked to its strengths, and been ready to move forward again. Now is such a time, as building upon its unique history and military ethos the lodge aims to become the West Kent meeting place for Brethren with military connections or an interest in military history.
Like their forebears the present lodge members are very proud of Freemasonry’s military heritage; they will look to actively preserve many old military Masonic customs, and maybe even create a few new ones! They intend to both work hard and play hard; and in so doing create their own ‘Jhadughor’, or ‘magic room’, right here in Wilmington.
