Thanks for your input Bill, please excuse my ignorance on the subject, I'm
not a historian.
By the way for anyone reading this for the first time, I forgot to put the
above subject title on the first mailing, so I've included the relevant
section of the original passage
"I've lived here for the past four years, and for the last year I've
been researching conventional sources to shed some light on the masonic
significance of this town in the last century and the peppering of
Masonic symbolry spanning the three main streets including a masonic lodge
on South Street, outside which hangs a lantern with the Grand Master Mason
signature inside a compass symbol, on Market Street the Cross Keys symbol
hanging on a central building overlooking the central fountain, surrounded
on both sides by omenic crosses on the street, and on North Street, a
multitude of masonic bible symbolry i.e. open bible etc carved on the
walls in the old chapel.
More importantly it seems the masons are active and their members include
highly influential people within the university including the personal
secretary to Struther Arnot, whose office is decorated with discrete
masonic paraphernalia including a clock with the All Seeing Eye
inscription on the pendulum.
Also the masonic presence seems to be affiliated with an order knights,
the reason for which I now know.
