  • Summary

  • 18th-century Freemasons believed medieval church architects in England oriented their buildings with the azimuth of sunrise on the day of the patronal saint. However, having spent over ten years exploring the English countryside with a compass Ian Hinton surveyed the alignments of over 2000 rural churches and his work thoroughly debunks this romantic masonic notion.

    In this episode Ian discusses the hidden complexities of church building, revealing a suite of masonic secrets and myths. And after explaining why leylines are “utter nonsense,” Ian reveals how his database of alignments suggests changing weather and climate patterns were key factors in the orientation of English churches.
