Dear Churchillians,
I heard that Churchill was a Mason in high Standarts, can you inform where I can find about it?
Thank you
Daniel

Churchill became a Mason in 1901, at the start of his Parliamentary career. He doesn't appear to have had much to do with the organization, and resigned in July 1912.

Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, London should hold the information you require. There is certainly a photo of Sir Winston on display there.

From Finest Hour 107:
Churchill was initiated into Freemasonry at the age of 26 on 24 May
1901. He was passed on July 19th the same year, and raised on 25 March
1902 in Studholme Lodge (now United Studholme Alliance Lodge No.
1591), a few yards from where he was then living in London. He was
apparently a regular attender, but took no office in the Lodge and
resigned in July 1912, probably due to political commitments and
office. His ceremonial apron is in the archives of the United Grand
Lodge of England.
In 1918, Churchill was a petitioner for a new Ministry of Munitions
Lodge in London, Churchill being at that time Britain's Minister of
Munitions. The petition was initially refused by Grand Lodge; however,
upon later resubmission, an imprimatur was given to Armaments Lodge
No. 3898. Churchill appears not to have been involved, as he had by
that time moved from the Minister of Munitions to Secretary of State
for War and Air.

From Phil Larson, a 32nd degree mason:
The Minnesota Mason (July-August 2009) covered a creative new lodge
called Sir Winston Churchill Lodge #351, Minneapolis was organized on
11 September 2007 at Brits Pub in downtown Minneapolis. It has
“sister” lodge relations appropriately with Martello No. 7121 in
Clacton-on-Sea, UK and Granite Lodge No. 352 in St. Francis, Ontario.
The Minnesota Mason notes were by W.E. Berger, Past Master, Lake
Harriet Lodge & Director of Ceremonies, Sir Winston Churchill Lodge,
who was seeking masons with experience in the British Emulation
Ritual. He may be contacted at vonb...@comcast.net.
