| The plaques were found in a "builders yard" somewhere in Birmingham where they were rescued (for a small sum) by W.Bro Bertie Cullum of Caversham Lodge and now adorn the walls of our temple. There are reputedly other examples of the same plaques in various locations in the Country . One of which can be found in Keynsham in Somerset and has been colour washed. If you are aware of others, then please contact us and let us know, we will be pleased to include their location on this page.It is the tradition within Caversham Lodge to use the plaques as a pictorial aid to the explanation of the Traditional History during the Third Degree ceremony. |
