Military Lodge 1422

The lodge was formed 150 years ago, as a Masonic home for the Brethren passing through the military depot and engineering college at Roorkee in Northern India. Initially nearly all the lodge’s members were drawn from the British Indian Army; but over the years it has been a Masonic home for many distinguished civil and military figures, including Rajas and a holder of the Victoria Cross.

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.
