Freemasonry has existed in Dorset since 1736 with the creation of the Three Crowns Lodge (No. 145) at Weymouth.

The Durnovarian Lodge in Dorchester was named and established in 1775 and originally met at 'The Kings Arms' at 30 High East Street Dorchester. This agrees with the Register of Members listed below. and was reported in "The Constitutions of the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free Masons (page lxiii) where it states "The Grand Secretary reported That the two following Lodges had been constituted since the last Grand Lodge ---- the second was ---No 476 Durnovarian Lodge, Kings Arms Dorchester". The 'Kings Arms'

In 1785 they met at the 'Royal Oak' in High West Street, and this address is referred to in the 1790 publication in London of 'Jachin and Boaz; or an Authentic Keyt to the door of Free Masonry.

In 1799 they met at the 'Antelope Inn' on Cornhill in the center of Dorchester where meetings remained there until 1830 when the lodge was erased.

General correspondence relating to the lodge for years 1787, 1788, 1790-1792, 1800 and 1809-1811 is held at the Library and Museum of Freemasonry at 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. Various Lodge numbers are used in correspondence but again 'Lanes Masonic Records' suggests that the original Lodge number was 476 and dates from as early as 1770? This became Lodge 381 in 1780 and 382 the following year. In 1792 it became Lodge 310 and is listed as such in "The Spirit of Masonry in Moral and Elucidatory Lectures" by William Hutchinson (page 344). From 1814 it became Lodge 395.

The Lodge was Erased in 1830.

Dorchester - Lodge of Faith and Unanimity Masonic Hall

In 1834 The Lodge of Faith and Unanimity was formed in Dorchester and consecrated on 21st August that year. They met in a new building situated on the corner of Allington and West Back Street (Now called Princess Street). It cost £468.3s. 1d and is shown in the picture above.

The following extracts only list members where the register records their place of residence as being Dorchester or Fordington my area of interest. The Dorchester Lodge had many other members from surrounding parishes and even further afield including army personnel lodged at the barracks and even seamen etc. Many entries have no entry for residence at all and it may well be that some of these also were actually resident in Dorchester or Fordington. This is particularly true for members who joined prior to the period quoted and had been carried forward. If I later discover this to be the case I will add them to the listing.

Images of this Register are held on Ancestry.com and it is always worth viewing the original entries if you are a member. Locating them is not always straightforward. Click the 'Search' Tab and select 'Card Catalog' and enter 'Freemason' (Not Freemasons). This brings up their file "England, United Grand Lodge of England Freemason membership Registers 1751-1921". From there you can search for an individual (not always found on general searches) browse individual registers or simply input the name of the lodge in the appropriate box.
