In 1927, 5 Freemasons who were members of Albert Edward Lodge bought Agincourt House and personally guaranteed the mortgage with repayments made via a levy on the (then) 24 members of the Lodge, and In 1929 Agincourt Hall Ltd was incorporated for the sole purpose of administering the hall for Masonic purposes.

After WW2, all masonic units that met at the now Agincourt Hall were asked if they would take over the mortgage, only Albert Edward Lodge agreed, with the members then paying into a fund to cover the mortgage. This mortgage was redeemed in 1960, and Albert Edward Lodge remains the “Beneficial Owner” of the property and land at 487 London Road.

in the 1960’s major structural repairs were required, which were carried out by Bob Potter (of Potter’s International fame) in return for a 10 year lease to run the hall and provide catering on a commercial basis, and the hall became known as an entertainment venue, hosting such acts as  The Rolling Stones, Cream, The Who, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Wishbone Ash, and its existence as a Masonic Centre became lost in the locality (the current mural in Camberley town centre depicts Agincourt Hall as “Agincourt Old School Rock”)

But once upon a time, before there was amplified music, when Mr and Mrs Entertainer communicated with everyone using the Royal Mail, or maybe Telegram, when there were local phone numbers that consisted of a single digit, and you could get “Home Killed Meat, Calves’ Liver, Brains and Calves’ Breads” from the local butcher (telephone Camberley 12) there was the Agincourt Hall …….

Found in the darkest recesses of the building, this brochure gives a unique insight into the hall, and maybe one or two into the “social scene” of the time.

Then and Now …
