An active Freemason <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry>  throughout
his adult life, Edward VII was installed as Grand Master in 1874, giving
great impetus and publicity to the fraternity. He regularly appeared in
public, both at home and on his tours abroad, as Grand Master, laying the
foundation stones of public buildings, bridges, dockyards, and churches with
Masonic ceremony. His presence ensured publicity, and reports of Masonic
meetings at all levels appeared regularly in the national and local press.
Freemasonry was constantly in the public eye, and Freemasons were known in
their local communities. Edward VII was one of the biggest contributors to
the fraternity.
