Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of Lodge of Economy No.76 in Winchester. 1761-2011
Freemasonry has sometimes been fashionable, sometimes persecuted, frequently misunderstood. Its standing has varied between welcome acceptance and appreciation on the one hand and dismissal as irrelevant or vilification as pernicious on the other.
Where does the truth lie? The author has taken the opportunity of a major anniversary to examine how a single Masonic Lodge (for many years the only one, in a small but significant city) has influenced the social, business, professional and public life of Winchester and beyond across 250 years.
The story is told through the exploits and achievements of some of the most interesting of the thousand or more individuals who have been involved during that time. It is for the reader to decide whether or not their influence has been for good. Along the way an insight is given into the distinctive way Freemasons approach their public and private avocations and the many illustrations help bring the story to life.
