Hey up.

I assume one gets inaugurated in an augurial seat:

inaugurate:

verb (inaugurated, inaugurating) 1 to place (a person) in office with a formal ceremony. Compare induct. 2 to mark the beginning of (some activity) with a formal ceremony or dedication, etc. 3 to mark the opening of (a new building or service), especially by being the first person to try it out. inauguration noun. inaugurator noun.
ETYMOLOGY: 17c: from Latin inaugurare, literally 'to take omens'; see augur.

(from the chambers 21st century dictionary,)

Nice one......

there's a stone shaped like a chair in the field next to R/H Stride......Heathcotes book on Stanton Moor mentions an augurial seat and he can get a bit lost in the druids......so sorta fits in.
