In 1837 the Swan Lodge of Benevolence was consecrated, meeting first at the Swan Hotel and later at the Town Hall in Wells. The name was changed to Benevolent Lodge in 1841 and in 1892 it moved into premises rented from the Cathedral, first the Vicars Hall until 1917, then 10 Cathedral Green, where it remained for eighty years until 1997, when it moved to its new Lodge room above the West Cloister. In February 2016 the lodge moved to its current home in Wells Museum which has proved to be a far more convenient and agreeable location than the room above the Cloisters.
