Originally intended to be a History and Reference Book of the Royal Arch, also known as Chapter, Province of Somerset this interesting book also has many antidotes. It is the first complete history of all the twenty eight Chapters within Somerset and also gives details of those individuals that have contributed to its conception and progress. It is a comprehensive guide to the Royal Arch within Somerset, and its history and development from since 1765 to the present day. It gives a very up to date picture of this very progressive part of the Masonic family which provides the members, known as Companions, with a very important extension to the Lodges to which all members must belong before joining the Royal Arch, and provides them with a companionship and friendship that is not usually available within individual Lodges.
