Cheltenham Masonic Hall, Grade II listed Masonic hall in Cheltenham, England.
Cheltenham Masonic Hall is a meeting house built between 1820 and 1823 with Egyptian-influenced architecture throughout. The interior features a star-decorated blue ceiling, Georgian furniture, and a main lodge room that seats roughly 65 people.
Architect George Allen Underwood designed the building, making it the second oldest purpose-built Masonic structure in England. It was constructed during a period of significant building activity in Cheltenham.
The hall's name connects to Foundation Lodge No. 82, established in 1753 as the group that commissioned its construction. Today nine different lodges meet regularly here, making it an active center for Masonic gatherings in the city.
The building originally had gas lamps and candles but now features modern heating and electrical systems for daily use. Visiting works best during open times when staff can show you around the spaces.
Dr. Edward Jenner, the immunology pioneer who invented the smallpox vaccine, was a member of Foundation Lodge and visited this hall during the 1800s. His connection shows how such lodges attracted influential figures from science and medicine.
