Produced and recorded for QCCC in 1994, John Hamill’s History of Freemasonry was originally published as an expensive set of five CDs.

As time has passed and new evidence has come to light, other historical theories have gained traction. It nonetheless remains a delight to listen to John, at the time the Librarian and Curator of the United Grand Lodge of England.

The History is copyright QCCC and should not be reproduced.
