The year is 1603. The wisest fool in Christendom, King James VI of Scotland, has just ascended the English throne. There are already murmurs of Catholic plots across the country and, in Chester, bubonic plague has struck.
Yet there is good news for the Cappers, Pinners, Wyredrawers and Bricklayers Company. The king has confirmed the guild with its own coat of arms.
Meet Myles Mason, son of a Welsh brickman and grandson of a Dutch carver. He will be your guide.
Tours leave from the Visitor Information Centre (VIC) every Saturday and last around 90 minutes, ending inside Stanley Palace, the Elizabethan townhouse of the Earls of Derby.
