The building in the rear is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrust.org.uk\/main\/w-vh\/w-visits\/w-findaplace\/w-sudburyhall\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sudbury Hall<\/a> in Derbyshire, and Kit painted it from a photograph; he had not been there at the time he painted the scene. A visitor named James adds: &#8220;Sudbury Hall was an interesting building to use in a picture in <em>Masquerade<\/em>. I wonder if Kit Williams was aware that a version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philipcoppens.com\/arcadia.html\" target=\"_blank\">Poisson&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Shepherds of Arcadia<\/em><\/a>\u00a0was\/is kept there. That painting has long been thought of to contain hidden geometry, lines etc that are supposed to provide clues to a hidden treasure (something to do with Christ). Very similar to the paintings in the book and lines from the end of fingers, etc. That painting has caused furor and controversy similar to\u00a0<em>Masquerade<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Intrigued? KMAC offers even more background: &#8220;The mystery revolves around a priest and a church in Rennes-Le-Chateau France. It is very interesting tale that many believe points to a hidden treasure trove (the priest became suddenly wealthy and decorated the church unconventionally with possible clues such as patron saints of lost treasure, etc.) Many others however believe it points to a bloodline decendency from Christ which has been followed by secret cults over the years and has been hidden by the church.
