Heritage Open Day: A rare opportunity to visit Tavistock's historic Masonic Lodge, Freemasons Hall in Pym Street dating from the late Victorian period. The Freemasons Hall in Pym Street is the home of Bedford Lodge, which has been meeting in Tavistock since 1791. Meetings were held firstly at the King's Arms, then The Bedford Hotel, and the Abbey rooms in Church Gate / Town Hall, and in 1894 the meetings were held at 84 West
In September 1899 a site was purchased from the Duke of Bedford in Barley Market Street opposite the Temperance Hotel at the corner Love Lane. The Temperance Hotel became the council offices and later the Ordulph Hotel.
The Foundation Stone was laid in January 1901. James Dennis and Thomas Kerslake drew the designs.
