The latest in the series of mini displays of recent acquisitions at the Treasure House in Beverley has now opened.
The new display features Freemasonry regalia and other items relating to a father and son (Charles Henry Massey & Charles Derrick Massey) who were both members of local Masonic lodges.
Said Dr. David Marchant, museums registrar with the council: "We were very pleased to receive these colourful and fascinating items as a donation from a relative. We previously had very little in our collections about Freemasonry.
"Although there is a lot of myth and legend surrounding the society, these days it is a charitable organisation, although like many it has its share of regalia and rituals."
The display can be found in the museum on the first floor of the Treasure House and will run for six months.
