The idea of freemasonry is still vaguely controversial... are freemasons a secret society of eccentrics or simply an example of a successful networking group? A recent BBC article opened up the discussion again.
I know that Freemasonry started to get very respectable and widespread in the early part of the last century, but even so I was surprised to see the virtual whole of the west wall of Stoke Minster Church covered in memorial tablets to freemasons.
I need to read up on the subject I guess.
I tend to lean more towards the weirdos notion. Colourful tablets, though.
