The restored spire of St. Osmund’s Church in the parish of Horsingdon.
Whilst a certain calm has fallen upon the borough over the past twelvemonth, its older residents are all too well aware that such an extended period of quietude is itself an uncanny occurence - one typically forshadowing some frantic and tumultuous intrusion from out of those unseen and unformed territories whose metaphysical borders overlap the more corporeal boundaries of the region.
The rebuilding of St. Ormund’s has also, it seems, led to a resoration of another kind: an utter erasure of the building’s praeternatural imprint upon the Horsingdon landscape - a kind of ontological resetting to some frighteningly primordial and abysmal state of utter, entropic absence.
The interior of the church now feels asceptic, sterile - almost inimical to presences both natural and supernatural. Rumour has it that this is the result of an especially terminal exorcism conducted by unknown parties during the reconstruction of St. Osmund’s spire.
The Boreham Mausoleum which once stood within the church grounds - now vacated by its previous inhabitant (whose whereabouts remains unknown) in the aftermath of an act of occult desecration - has been entirely demolished, the lower portions of its crypt having been filled in with concrete.
