Freemasonry in Derbyshire was first established as early as 1732, about 15 years after the formation of the first Grand Lodge and around 86 years after the first ever recorded Lodge in England. The earliest Lodges were often named after the building where the meetings took place, which not surprisingly would have been an Inn or Tavern. Alternatively, from place or family names. The latter being the case here in Glossop. Initially taking its name from the family of the Duke of Devonshire and recently changed to Glossopdale Lodge following a restructure in 2017. Over time, Lodges were formed and Lodges were disbanded. The oldest surviving Lodge in Derbyshire is Tyrian Lodge № 253, being established in 1785. The Province of Derbyshire was designated, largely observing the County boundary, in 1789. As the number of subscribing members grew, new (daughter) Lodges opened, including our Lodge in Glossop in 1853. We are the fourth oldest surviving Lodge in Derbyshire. If you are tracing your family history and would like to know if any were freemasons in our Lodge, we would love to help you. The Lodge originally met at the Globe Inn, High Street West, moving in 1857 to the Norfolk Arms.
