Info

Have you always wondered what exactly the Freemasons did? What it represented? What kind of world Elisabeth St Leger was initiated into as a young girl in Doneraile court in 1713.

Doneraile court is inextricably linked to being the first place that a lady Freemason was initiated into the order in 1713.

Elisabeth Aldworth (nee St Leger) was only 17 when she inadvertently witnessed a Freemason meeting in Doneraile court in 1713.

She was initiated as a Freemason subsequently as the other consequences were unthinkable for a daughter of the house.

Elisabeth historically became the very first woman to be initiated into the order, and the first Lady Freemason.

Freemasonry is often clouded with mystery and secrecy throughout the ages, we have invited members of the Provincial grand lodge of Munster to enlighten and clarify our perceptions of modern Freemasons.
