The little Masonic Gem in East Lancashire


St Edmund's Church in Rochdale is regarded as one of the finest but least known gems of ecclesiastical architecture in the country. Commissioned by the industrialist, banker, and Freemason Albert Hudson Royds, its interior is packed with Masonic symbolism. Set on a high mound in a diamond shaped churchyard it is one of England's hidden Masonic gems and is mostly undiscovered by those outside the town, but every bit as exotic and more Masonic than Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.
St Edmund's, built by a Freemason for Freemasons, not so much as a church, but a "Temple of Solomon".
