“From Ancient times no Master or Fellow could be absent from his Lodge, especially when warned to appear at it, without incurring a severe censure, unless it appeared to the Master and Wardens that pure necessity hindered him.” — From the Ancient Charges
For more than a century the brethren of Vulcan Lodge have met in the Alfreton area, working under warrant granted in December 1921. The lodge takes its name from Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge — a nod to the district’s industrial heritage.
