Out takes from the story ‘This World of Interiors’ by @jessicahayns , for 30 years Creative Director @theworldofinteriors . Her house in south London, one of our ‘house’ stories in @bibleofbritishtaste magazine.no.3, just published: ‘Do you believe that objects can have a soul?’ she writes… ‘Or maybe they carry the soul of the people sho once cherished them?’
Read the full story in bobt/3, autumn/winter 2024

You read it here first:(posted in Feb ‘23) ‘Man-size in Marble’ is the horrifying new Christmas eve ghost story brought to @bbc2 by the brilliant @markgatiss1 . A true ‘ghost story’ - and a bit of Victorian vandalism. Sometime in the superstitious C19th the church was being ‘haunted’ by the ghostly apparitions of these Elizabethans, effigies that had slept in the chancel for centuries past. So they were hauled out and buried in this shallow grave in the churchyard. And in 1919 these intrepid boy archaeologists dug them up again. Their heads were disinterred, tho severed, but she has lost her feet and their heraldic? supporter: her knight is far more unfortunate. The ghost-hunters had done for him good and proper.
The talented author E. Nesbit heard about this and wrote her ghost story worthy of M. R James, with a horrifying conclusion.
Tho’ they are both safely back inside this remote little Bedfordshire church now, lying close to the altar, his trunk is probably still down there mouldering among the earthworms.They may represent William and Mary Huet, who both died in 1602.
Watch, or even better, read Nesbit’s story, Man-size in Marble. It will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck…
