St. Edmund’s Church, off Falinge Road in Rochdale – now largely seen as a suburb of Manchester – might lay claim to being Britain’s greatest Masonic secret. Alas, unlike Rosslyn Chapel, it is unlikely to feature in Dan Brown’s The Solomon Key, where the bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code tackles Freemasonry, taking us no doubt from one “Masonic monument” to the next.
Though Rosslyn Chapel, the star of The Da Vinci Code, is often seen as a Masonic church, in truth, only certain modifications from the late 19th century contain some references to the Craft. St Edmund’s, however, was built by Freemasons, and apparently for Masons, not so much as a church, but as a Temple of Solomon.
