About this Event
Cheltenham Masonic Hall
Heritage Open Day: Cheltenham Masonic Hall was built in 1823 by architect and Freemason George Underwood. Still in regular use after 200 years, the building retains all its Regency features. Displays on the history of the building and freemasonry in Cheltenham. Cheltenham Masonic Hall is one of the oldest purpose built masonic halls in England still in use. The interior has changed little since it was built in 1823 by Cheltenham architect and Freemason, George Allen Underwood (1793 - 1829), in a combined Roman Mausoleum and Egyptian style. This Grade II* listed building retains all its Regency features, and has some of the best ironwork in Cheltenham, including railings by W. Wheeler, an elegantly wrought balustrade on the cantilevered spiral staircase, and a balcony railing.
