This is an independent heritage and history resource about the Masonic history of Ireland’s North Munster region.

What this resource is

These pages are an independent, non-commercial attempt to gather in one accessible place the history, artefacts and traditions of Freemasonry in Ireland’s North Munster region. Our material is drawn from published antiquarian scholarship, historic Masonic periodicals, museum collections and the general historical record. Where we describe a famous object such as the Baal’s Bridge Square or the Marencourt Cup, we have tried to distinguish carefully between documented fact and long-repeated tradition.

How we can — and cannot — help

Looking for the official body?

If you wish to enquire about membership or the current activities of Irish Freemasonry, those are matters for the fraternity itself and not for this heritage site. The Grand Lodge of Ireland is the appropriate point of contact, and the present-day North Munster province maintains its own separate official website.

Otherwise, you may like to return home or browse the full site map.

This resource is independent and unaffiliated.
