I developed my interest Sherlock about the same time that I first learned more about Masonry. I have read the books, listened to Old Time Radio broadcasts, and seen the movies. I particularly like the BBC movies. I only recently learned that there were various Sherlockian Societies. I didnt think that other people were as interested in Holmes and Watson as I was. I am especially pleased to see a rediscovery of Sherlock Holmes among people the younger generations.

There is also a podcast associated with this group called "I hear of Sherlock everywhere". That is how I found this website. After listening to the podscasts, I finally decided to check out the webpage with a vague hope of glimpsing a reference or two Masonry. I had sincere doubts that I would find anything but, like you, I am excited to find it and can easily see it growing to be huge.

I actually see that the rediscovery of Sherlock Holmes closely mirrors the rediscovery of Masonry among Generation X, Y and the Millenials. As the recent movies and books have caused a spark in lodge growth, I can see that the new upcoming movie could actually do the same for Sherlock. Just as the Lord of the Rings Movies popularized Tolkien to the masses, so could the film do for Doyle.
