Hi Alyson,

Don't know whether this is of any help but the address of the Norwich Masonic Hall is:

47 St Giles Street, Norwich, Norfolk NR2 1JR
Tel: 01603 219436
Fax: 01603 623266

A number of the lodges meet at this hall so they may be able to advise. It appears that Lodge No 6539 (St Edmund's Lodge) is the Lodge for Attleborough but at the moment I cannot bring up their individual details.. some problem with the server..but perhaps they meet at the same hall. You can google Provincial Grand Lodge of Norfolk and have a look.
