Long abandoned, Boreham Hall, which once housed the Temple of the Ascended Spirit - a spiritualist church whose small congregation disappeared suddenly and inexplicably one night in 1951 - stands opposite North Harlow Cemetary. Built by Joseph Boreham, strange lights and chanting were seen and heard emanating from the building’s interior shortly before it was discovered that the Temple’s membership had passed from view, seemingly collectively and en masse.
Not only did the Temple’s mediums assert the capacity to commune directly with the dead, they also claimed to possess a kind of spiritual sight whch allowed them to peer into the spaces beyond death, and espie the alien worlds which existed therein; indeed, central to the Temple’s theology was the eventual eschatological apotheosis of its congregation into those remote realms...
To this day, Boreham Hall remains closed to the public by order of Harlow County Council.
