I never realised there was a Freemasons Lodge in Whittington, this extract from the Derbyshire Courier 15 October 1904 confirms there was. It mentions that meetings were held at the Institute, I only know of the Sheepbridge Institute (photo below).
I always believed the ‘Masons ‘ was a secretive society but several members are named in this excerpt.
