small depression following each letter confirms the forward direction of<br />

the sentence.<br />

<strong>The</strong> position of the letter M as an end word is also likely because<br />

tracing the inscription yields a St Andrew’s cross. As we have seen, this<br />

was a very important symbol in Lord Anson’s day. A St Andrew’s cross<br />

is the symbol used in old initiation and sacrificial rites to represent<br />

resurrection. It is a symbol of Archangel Michael and the lineage of<br />

Melchizedek Priests. Within the Roman Catholic Church, it is the<br />

Signaculum Dei or Seal of God.<br />

<strong>The</strong> St Andrews cross is achieved on the inscription by following<br />

the rising diagonal line from D on the lower left to the first V on the top<br />

right, then running right to left across the main row of letters. Finally, a<br />

downward diagonal from the top left O to the bottom right M completes<br />

the cross.<br />

<strong>The</strong> symmetry implicit in a St Andrews cross would have been<br />

important to Lord Anson. He established a fine garden of dog roses, the<br />

symbol of resurrection of the men of the Plain of Sharon.<br />

Following the small depressions and the St Andrews cross places<br />

the letter M as the first letter of the last word. <strong>The</strong> preceding word begins<br />

with O.<br />

<strong>The</strong> right words came once more from the archaic Latin word list:<br />

occulto maneo, which translates as to remain concealed.<br />

At last the whole sequence of letters was in place:<br />

Deus visitabit vos asportate vobiscum sancta ossa upilio occulto<br />

maneo<br />

which means:<br />

God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry away<br />

the shepherd’s holy bones to remain concealed.<br />

Now Lord Anson’s mysterious letters at Shugborough have a<br />

solution. <strong>The</strong> inscription implies that Lord Anson knew the Knights<br />

Templar found Joseph’s mummy under the Temple in Jerusalem. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

removed it to a shrine in Mount Cardou. Poussin showed it in his famous<br />

painting Les Bergers d'Arcadie II. <strong>The</strong> shrine may still be there. Possibly<br />

the bones or mummy of Jacob is there as well.<br />

<strong>The</strong> famous rose line of France supports for this solution. On the<br />

official maps of the day, the rose line passed through Mount Cardou and<br />

the unusual meridienne of Paris’ St Sulpice. Meridiennes are brass<br />

plaques and strips in a church. A ray of sunlight highlights the<br />

meridienne at noon and is used calibrate the village clock.<br />
