Statement of Significance
A masonic hall of 1866, built in brick on a T-plan, the ends of the arms treated in a manner suggestive of pilasters and pediment, but altered in twentieth century by an extension to the back and two rectangular brick pavilions flanking the front entrance.
Zetland Lodge interior, within Oddfellows Hall Statement of Significance: A masonic hall containing a wonderfully complete scheme of Egyptian decoration executed by the local artist T F Levick in 1905, with minor later additions. This includes a ceiling representing the sky, with correctly disposed stars and the milky way, wall pilasters treated as Egyptian columns, and, between these, panels of painted decoration taking up the column motif in receding rows of a naive trompe l'oeil character. The subjects of the panels include pyramids, temples and sphinxes. There is a canopied masonic throne in Egyptian style, and the style is continued in a bronze repousse honour roll of somewhat later date.
