Descensus Aquarum Lodge No 8655

Ely Masonic Hall, 47 Silver Street, Ely, Cambs., CB7 4FJ

The lodge was formed in 1975 by members of Anglian Water (Descensus Aquarum = A fall of water). Today its membership is drawn from all walks of life, but its origin is still honoured at our meetings.

This is a vibrant, busy Lodge with a relatively young average age of membership and a particularly active community of younger masons. The lodge has a very inclusive attitude and attracts joining members along with new candidates, all of whom are welcomed into the team and quickly become seamless members of it.
The Lodge meets on the 3rd Wednesday in January, February, March, April, October and November at 18:00 with an active lodge of instruction on most Wednesdays at 19:00, when there is no meeting. Mentoring of new members and support for all members receives particular attention in DA* and the lodge is well resourced with experienced members to provide it.
The lodge works excellent masonic ritual and often includes components that are not widely seen locally making it a very interesting and popular place to be. Opportunities to learn and participate are always available for members to progress at their own pace.
The lodge has an extensive social calendar to include family and friends throughout the year and is committed to supporting both provincial and national charities, whilst also recognising and directly supporting needs in the local community. Our partners play an important role in social activities ensuring that they feel part of the Lodge.
The lodge welcomes those that meet the general criteria for masonic membership, who can regularly attend meetings in Ely on a Wednesday and who wish to explore freemasonry with an open mind and generous heart. Candidates will have an opportunity to meet with a cross section of members of the Lodge both socially and as part of the joining process before commitment
