Keeping Our Ground
Integrity is about doing the right thing when no one is watching. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, we view integrity as a commitment to radical honesty and reliable character. For an Agricola member, this means owning our mistakes, refusing to participate in gossip, and staying true to our word—whether in business, online, or at home. We treat our lodge as a sanctuary where trust is absolute.
Integrity
Nurturing Inclusivity
True civility is becoming rare in public discourse, but it is the bedrock of our lodge. We pride ourselves on creating an open, inclusive environment where every member is valued equally, regardless of his background, beliefs, or status outside the lodge room. We listen to understand, not to debate. By practicing respect within our walls, our members bring a calmer, more considerate presence out into the wider Maidstone community.
Respect
Cultivating Common Ground
Freemasonry offers a unique modern social network that cuts through the noise of the digital age. Our namesake means farmer, and we honor that by actively sowing the seeds of genuine camaraderie. Agricola Lodge brings together men from entirely different generations, backgrounds, and professions who would otherwise never meet. From the lighthearted banter at our Festive Board dinners to supporting each other through life's challenges, we build friendships that stand the test of time.

About Freemasonry
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest social and charitable organisations, with its origins rooted in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
It is here that a number of the famous elements of Freemasonry find their roots. In the medieval era, stonemasons often travelled around to find work in different locations. To demonstrate their level of qualification, they would use grips, words and signs in order to distinguish themselves from unqualified builders.
Freemasonry uses building analogies to teach members how to lead productive lives that benefit the communities that they live in. In the medieval era, stonemasons wore aprons and gloves to protect themselves while working on shaping rough pieces of stone, but in today’s society Freemasons meet to build friendships and communities rather than cathedrals and castles.
Mission & Values
WHAT WE ARE
We are a unique members’ organisation that has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges throughout the country where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.
WHAT WE AIM FOR
To attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling them to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge them to practise the core values we celebrate – Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Service– in their private and public lives. To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.
HOW WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS
Over the next 7 years, we will enhance our reputation as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join and broaden our membership across all age groups.
