The school was founded on the 21st May 1430 and was known as The Chantry School of Holy Trinity. A century later, in the reign of Edward VI, the Charter was granted on the 17th June 1552 and ordained there should be forever a Grammar School at Stourbridge. It is now a sixth form mixed college. Since the School became a sixth form college in 1975, there is now, no restriction on membership, although there are still some members who attended the School.

​

The formation of the Old Edwardian Lodge of Stourbridge arose from a discussion at an Old Boys Annual Dinner. Preliminaries were quickly settled for the Lodge Consecration to be arranged, and a report on the Consecration appeared in the summer term 1946 issue of the “Stourbridge Edwardian” magazine.

​

The Old Edwardian Lodge of Stourbridge No. 6141, met at the Talbot Hotel, Stourbridge from the first regular meeting held on 5th February 1946 following the Consecration held in the school hall, until August 29th 2021.The Old Edwardian Lodge of Stourbridge No. 6141 has been in existence since 1946.

Since then many Lodges & Chapters moved to new Lodge Rooms at:

James S. Webb, Freemasonry Centre, Stourbridge, DY8 1SP.

The Hall is a well-appointed building with ample parking. However, the Lodge benefits from the excellent facilities at the Old Edwardian Social Club nearby, where the Festive Board takes place after our Tuesday meetings. The OESC has its own parking. The Lodge recently celebrated  it's 80th Year with a Celebration Dinner at the Stourbridge Golf Club with our wives, partners and friends in November 2025.

 

Our Lodge meets on a Tuesday evening at Stourbridge six times a year in February, March, April, October, November & December.
