‘1717 & All That’ – Symposium at FMH
We hosted more than 200 visitors at our Symposium at Freemasons’ Hall in London on 15 February:
Professors Andrew Prescott & Susan Sommers argued that the first Grand Lodge was not formed in 1717 but 1721, and John Hamill & Dr Ric Berman, contended the reverse.
Videos of the principal talks have been posted to YouTube. The papers delivered on the day were published in AQC 131.
