Rooted in Wednesbury.
Building for Tomorrow.
Oakeswell Lodge No. 8117 was consecrated on 26 January 1967, its name drawn from the medieval Oakes Well, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1080 AD and once a vital water source for the town. Today we welcome brethren from Wolverhampton, Walsall, Wednesbury, Bilston and the surrounding West Midlands into a fellowship built on fellowship, integrity and service to the community.
