All Members of the Order are welcome to visit us. The Stow Lodge is a "Country Lodge" meaning that - in general - meetings are on a smaller scale than those which might be expected in the Larger Towns and Cities. A visiting Brother Mason is guaranteed a warm and personal welcome from those who attend. Attendance can vary from 20 - 70 members and visitors. Our small Lodge highlights the importance of the individual - you will not be "lost" in our company!
We salute the man of worth,

At the heart of Stow is its Town Hall, built in 1855 on a grand scale suggesting the expansion and importance of Stow at that era. Today it provides accommodation for a wide range of community uses.
This magnificent Hall was built by the Owner of the then vast Stow Estates - Brother Captain Mitchell of Stow. After his death his widow who inherited the Estate married the Chief of Clan MacKay - Lord Reay - becoming Lady Reay of Stow. She was well known for her generosity. The Town Hall where we have met from the time of it's building to the present day remained in the ownership of Stow Estate until around 1940 when it was gifted to the Local Authority |
