Anson, Lord

The next chapter decodes inscription on Lord Anson s famous Shugborough Monument, based on a full knowledge of initiation theology. It confirms the bones in Mount Cardou may indeed be a surprise for all. 

In 1747, Anson defeated the French fleet off Cape Finisterre. The Navy elevated Anson to vice-admiral and the King raised him to the peerage. It seemed no adverse circumstance could shake his rational calm. One year later Anson achieved full admiral and became a First Lord of the Admiralty. Incongruously, he then disappointed everyone. 

Most incongruous of all are two simultaneous images of Lord Anson s dogs, one holding out his paw. They are in the cloud above the new ossuary, where one would normally expect the sunburst or illumination of God. 

The position of the letter M as an end word is also likely because tracing the inscription yields a St Andrew s cross. As we have seen, this was a very important symbol in Lord Anson s day. A St Andrew s cross is the symbol used in old initiation and sacrificial rites to represent resurrection. It is a symbol of Archangel Michael and the lineage of Melchizedek Priests. Within the Roman Catholic Church, it is the Signaculum Dei or Seal of God. 

The symmetry implicit in a St Andrews cross would have been important to Lord Anson. He established a fine garden of dog roses, the symbol of resurrection of the men of the Plain of Sharon. 

Now Lord Anson s mysterious letters at Shugborough have a solution. The inscription implies that Lord Anson knew the Knights Templar found Joseph s mummy under the Temple in Jerusalem. They removed it to a shrine in Mount Cardou. Poussin showed it in his famous painting Les Bergers d Arcadie II. The shrine may still be there. Possibly the bones or mummy of Jacob is there as well. 

Secondly, the St Sulpice meridieime is important because French astronomers adjusted it in 1744, about the same time Lord Anson was beginning Shugborough Hall. 

The earliest known record of the effects of scurvy on wounds is given by Eichard Walter (1748), Chaplain to Lord Anson s expedition round the world (1740-1744). He made the following comment on this subject.
