Byker Masonic Hall and Lord Collingwood Lodge No.3246 has recently had the honour of being used by a Sky TV documentary team for their new four part programme – Inside The Freemasons, to be shown this winter.
Sky customers will be taken exclusively behind the scenes of the world’s oldest social network featuring the most in-depth look ever at the Freemasons in the run up to the 300th anniversary in 2017 and discovers the truth behind the ancient rituals and closely-guarded practices of this membership organisation.
With footage of Freemason ceremonies, never seen before on television, Inside The Freemasons uses unprecedented access to the United Grand Lodge of England and its Lodges all over the country to introduce viewers to members of the comradely order as it approaches its tercentenary next year. Viewers will learn the truth behind legends such as the regalia, the jewels, the handshakes and the symbolic working tools as they get to know Masons from all walks of life.
John Hamill, Director, Special Projects at the United Grand Lodge of England, said, “As we approach our Tercentenary it is fitting that we mark this auspicious occasion by very openly sharing a look at who we are, what we do and what we stand for. We hope the programme will help inform, educate and even surprise, providing a genuine insight and understanding into Freemasonry and Freemasons today.”
We look forward to seeing the documentary with interest. Keep checking back for all the latest from Lodge Temperance 2557
