Markethill District is a Lodge within the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, an Institution more commonly known throughout the world as the Orange Order.

There are already a number of good explanations of the origins and beliefs of the "Orange" on the Internet, so we have used these few pages to outline the history and activities of our District. We hope you will enjoy this insight into Orangeism and our District Lodge and will put into context who we are within what is a global organisation.
