GEORGE SQUARES UP TO THE ARCH
Across St Martin's Place from the Church of St Martin-In-The-Fields, at the front of the National Gallery is a statue of George Washington.
He gazes south-east across Trafalgar Square and Admiral Nelson, past Admiralty Arch and down Whitehall.
'ere your not looking at Perth are you Georgie Boy?'
Besides his name the inscription also says:
"Presented to the people of Great Britain & Ireland by the Commonwealth of Virginia 1921" ?????
You will notice that the year adds up to 13.
George Washington was a freemason.
12 of the 18 newly hung and rung Swan Bells in Perth Western Australia came from the church of St Martin-In-The-Fields.
Is this another Masonic connection to the Barrack Street Doppelganger.
It is worth taking a look at these two sites.
