Travel back in time with Cheshire’s Royal Arch Freemasons

Lincolnshire’s Royal Arch Freemasons are invited to a meeting in Nottinghamshire to see a demonstration, by brethren from Cheshire, of what the Royal Arch was like in the 1850s.

The evening is based on a manuscript potentially written before the birth of the man whose name it bears – John Tunnah, an accountant, who was  Provincial Grand Secretary of the Eastern Division of Lancashire in 1854 until 1879.

The Tunnah Manuscript has six sections which are lecture catechisms, no doubt to be delivered in stages
as time and circumstance allowed.

• The first deals with the release of the Israelites from bondage and the crossing of Sinai.
• The second gives an explanation of the Tabernacle and the things connected with it, including the veils, all of which have universal meanings.
• The third is an account of the Ark of the Covenant and its journeys, with an interpretation.
• The fourth gives an interpretation of the ‘mystery of the cherubims’.
• The fifth is an interpretative section dealing with Masonic objects and colour symbolism.
• The sixth is a listing of 40 analogies between Moses and Christ.
