Architect(s)G. Underwood (Foundation Lodge)

The Cheltenham Masonic Hall built by Foundation Lodge is believed to be the second oldest purpose-built Masonic Lodge in England.[1] Grand Lodge in London did not build a purpose-built lodge room until 1877. It is one of the few Temples in the country which has continuously been used as a Lodge room for considerably over 100 years.

It is also the oldest public building, other than ecclesiastical, in Cheltenham still used for the purpose for which it was designed.
