David Peck’s paper documents the family, social, religious and political environment which led Sir John Throckmorton, a wealthy member of the landed gentry with a staunch Catholic upbringing, to being initiated into one of the most influential London lodges and, at the age of 42, to appointment as a Grand Officer with the rank of Provincial Grand Master. Throckmorton lived some 50 miles from London and was an avid campaigner for civil rights for Roman Catholics.
The paper is available for download here: AQC135.04 David Peck
