club have been noted for the variety of their post­ working experiences and Mr Edmondson fully lived up to this reputation! He began in 1978 to expand his research into medieval marks, particularly the "signature marks" of stonemasons working in our own locality on bridges

, _______His hobby also saw him in France, Ger­ many and Italy, providing him with many interesting and amusing anecdotes to interest and educate his


audience. Of particular interest was


his description of methods employed in medieval times to raise heavy blocks of stone to great heights, involving the use of pulleys and treadmills. It was also revealing that Henry VIII was able to despoil more than 400 abbeys and monasteries in a mere two years - these included the local abbeys of Whalley and


Sawley. Mr Edmondson was


thanked by Mr Bob Jones, who congratulated him on the breadth of his research and his photography, as well as a most interesting presentation.
