THOROGOOD, PETER.
Brother, Whence Come You? A History of Sudbury Freemasonry and Our Home.
Ipswich: Privately Published, 2009. 0. "The story of Sudbury Masonry pre-dates the formation of the oldest extant lodge, Stour Valley, which was Consecrated in 1868, by many years. In the 18th century many Freemasons were resident in the town..W.Bro Brian Woodall wrote a masterly history of the Royal St Edmunds Lodge no. 1008 and makes the sad observation that a society once dedicated to learning and intellect has changed to what we are today. Quote "Sadly today, because a hundred years ago Freemasonry went through a change from being a publicly visible and understood organisation, to become a private, non-visible organisation, it is seen generally as a network for self-promotion, and this obscures the fact that it had from the eighteenth century a real intellectual and spiritual appeal, which I wish we could revive". " 29cms x 19cms. Pp.175, colour and black & white photo illustrations throughout, inscribed by the author to dedication page. Paperback. Scarce. VG.
