The Provincial Grand Lodge of Bedfordshire has a facility here for a Museum and Library open to Masons and non-Masons by appointment.
The Kempston Barracks
The Barracks were built 1874-6 for the XVth Regiment of Foot. In 1881 they became the Depot of the Bedfordshire Regiment and in 1918 for the Beds & Herts. In 1958 the barracks closed and after nearly 80 years of decision making, a use as a Masonic Lodge has been found for the building. At least part of the Barracks, including the Keep is to remain as is the Regimental War Memorial opposite.
