The Masonic Province of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire

Where tradition meets teamwork

Rugby in Freemasonry

The first specialist rugby lodge in England — a brotherhood where friendship goes far beyond the touchline.

Webb Ellis Lodge No. 9740 crest

One team. One brotherhood.

Built on rugby’s finest values

Webb Ellis Lodge brings together men who share a love of rugby, strong fellowship and a desire to support their communities.

Like a hard-fought match, lodge life is shaped by teamwork, perseverance and mutual encouragement. Every man is valued for his character and commitment, whether he played the game, supports from the touchline or simply connects with its spirit.

We take our Masonic work seriously, enjoy warm fraternal company and believe that friendship should last long after the final whistle.
