History
The Masonic Arms is a building with an interesting history and was built in 1785 by local Masons. This consisted of the bar area on the ground floor and the purpose built hall above where The Masonic Lodge meetings were held.
Although there are no longer ties to The Masonic movement some characteristics still appear including The Masonic Device, above the front entrance, which was constructed in 1802 and has been fully restored for us.
