Description: Wansford: Privately published, nd. (1998). 1902256034. "As Seen on BBC TV History Fix". "The 'Secret Room is not mentioned in the contract of 1434 ao it must have been an extra for the free-mason William Horwood..The complete experience of the restoration was a chance to observe parts of the church that had not been seen since the original construction. The copy of the Contract for the building of the Church is a fascinating document. It is known to be the only complete contract for the building of a church during the 15th century. It also uses the title 'free-mason' for William Horwood. This is a very early use of this addition pf the word 'free' to mason and possibly the first time in a major document." 26.5cms x 19cms. Pp.41, many black & whiite photos and illustrations throughout, owner's name to title page. White laminated stiff card covers. VG.
