Second Rising is the bi-monthly newsletter of Freemasonry in Northumberland.

It brings together stories, updates and reflections from across the Province, highlighting the people, Lodges, Chapters, events and initiatives that make up our shared Masonic life.

Each edition aims to show Freemasonry in action: welcoming new members, supporting charity, encouraging learning, building friendships and recognising the contribution of Brethren across Northumberland.

The publication is intended for members, families, friends and anyone interested in seeing more of what Freemasonry looks like beyond the Lodge room.
