What is a Cowan

In the medieval quarries and among the building sites, our operative brethren regulated their trade, not only excluding those who could not prove their rightful association, but by keeping the very methods of the Craft shrouded in mystery. The art of cutting stone, the use and construction of the proper tools, and the formulae intrinsic to the building trade were all jealously guarded professional secrets in a world before copyright, trademark or intellectual property. Often heard, but seldom seen these days, the cowan was alive and well in the days of operative Masons, and he was someone to be watchful for.
