In this episode of Craftcast, step into the past as our hosts explore the fascinating world of Masonic history with special guest Martin Cherry, Librarian at the Museum of Freemasonry.  Shaun, Stephen, and James discover four extraordinary artefacts—ranging from a book published by Benjamin Franklin older than the USA to a hidden painting inside a book’s pages and even a Freemasons’ Minutes Book detailing their time inside a WWI POW camp! Each item tells an incredible story, revealing Freemasonry’s deep connection to history, culture, and resilience. You won’t want to miss this journey through time.
