The Cheltenham Masonic Hall is believed to be the second oldest purpose-built Masonic Lodge in England. Grand Lodge in London did not build a purpose-built lodge room until 1877. It is one of the few Temples in the country which has continuously been used as a Lodge room for considerably over 100 years. It is also the oldest public building, other than ecclesiastical, in Cheltenham still used for the purpose for which it was designed.
