[1][2] The lodge meets at Wearside Masonic Temple,[3] Burdon Road, Sunderland and has done so since 1932.

The lodge is still in possession of its original warrant, presented at its consecration (1757), by the Marquess of Caranrvon (3rd Duke of Chandos).

On 11 January 2007 the 250th-anniversary meeting of Palatine Lodge was held at the Wearside Masonic Temple.

[citation needed] Before meeting in purpose-built Masonic buildings, Palatine met in local inns, taverns and even a brother's house.

Palatine Lodge has produced three provincial grand masters of Durham, Sir Hedworth Williamson, the 7th Baronet, in office from 1841 to 1845,[16] Sir Hedworth Williamson, the 8th Baronet, from 1885 to1900,[17] and RW Ernest Dixon from 1937 to 1959.
