Centenary Hall Stone Appeal
Building Our Future.
A century after Freemasons came together to create a lasting memorial to those who gave their lives in the First World War, a new generation has an opportunity to build a legacy of its own.

Following the First World War, Freemasons united in an extraordinary act of remembrance. Through the Masonic Million Memorial Fund, they raised money to construct Freemasons’ Hall in Great Queen Street, London — a lasting memorial to those who had made the ultimate sacrifice.
Individual Freemasons and Lodges who supported the original appeal were recognised through Hall Stone Jewels and Lodge honours. A century later, we have the opportunity to continue that tradition.
Building for the Next Century
Masonic buildings are more than meeting places. They are homes for friendship, tradition, learning and belonging, connecting generations of Freemasons and the communities around them.
The Centenary Hall Stone Appeal seeks to invest in buildings across the UGLE Constitution, addressing challenges such as maintenance, accessibility and energy efficiency so they can thrive for generations to come.
