In the latest episode of Craftcast, James, Shaun, and Stephen are joined by special guest Judge Simon Medland KC, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Cheshire and the 2025 Prestonian Lecturer. Simon shares his journey within Freemasonry, tracing his roots as a fourth-generation Freemason and recounting his appointment as the Lecturer for the upcoming year.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the history and significance of the Prestonian Lecture, including its origins and development over the years.
