RILKO, the Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation is a charitable educational trust whose members study hidden knowledge in myth, legend, number geometry, art, music, architectural proportion, megalithic structures and the geomantic layout of cities and landscape. RILKO, the Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation, was founded in 1969 by Commander G.J.Mathys, Janette Jackson, Elizabeth Leader, Keith Critchlow, John Michell and Professor Mary Williams. The Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation, RILKO, publishes books, including The Mysteries of Chartres Cathedral by Louis Charpentier, a periodical journal containing articles based on research and arranges regular public lectures. The origins of RILKO, the Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation, were founded on studies of Gastonbury, Glasonbury Abbey, sacred geometry and ancient systems of measure by early members including Elizabeth Leader, student of Folklore, who studied the researches of Mrs Maltwood into the Glastonbury Zodiac, Janette Jackson, who was interested in the work of Frederick Bligh Bond who had supervised the excavations at Glastonbury Abbey, and Keith Critchlow, ARCA, Architectural Lecturer in Arts, History and Structure who considered that a system of measures relating to sacred structures, described in 'The Canon', a book by William Stirling, merited further investigation, along with traditions relating to the Isle of Avalon and other matters. R.I.L.K.O. became a registered charity in 1974. The position of Professor Emeritus was held by Professor Alexander Thom B.Sc., D.Ac., M.A., Hon L.L.D., Professor of Engineering Science Oxford University, from 1974 to 1981, the late Mr John C. Irwin FRSA., FRAS., FRAI., FSA., former First Keeper of the Oriental Section at the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1981 to 2004, and R.I.L.K.O. founder member, the late John Michell, distinguished scholar and writer about ancient traditions, from 2004 to 2009.
