Annie Elizabeth Frederica Horniman (Fortiter et Recte) is the first member to be initiated into the R.R. et A.C., achieving the full grade of 5=6 Adeptus Minor.  The Vault had been newly built, and it is said the roof was not affixed and the paint on the Crook and Scourge was still wet.

 

Annie was heiress to the Horniman & Co. tea estate, was a great patron of theatre, and established the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
