The United Grand Lodge of England

The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is the main governing body of Freemasonry in England and Wales, established in 1717. It oversees the activities of various Masonic lodges, promoting values like integrity, charity, and brotherhood among its members. Freemasonry itself is a fraternal organization that encourages moral and ethical development, community service, and the pursuit of knowledge through symbolic rituals. UGLE also plays a significant role in preserving Masonic traditions and facilitating communication among lodges while fostering a sense of unity within the broader Masonic community.
