What is recorded here

Malahide Demesne holds a church door crowned by a mitred head, carving authority into stone above the threshold. That much is clear. Whether the head mocked a bishop, honored one or simply watched people enter, the story has faded. The face remains, silent and definite, judging every shadow that passes beneath it.
