"There’s a ghostly dead heading to these past life visitations, fixed with a stilled solemn, these silent watchers rise like spectral sentries from the twilight shadows of neglected moorlands and woodlands under the blanket of night. sparse and spectral, this haunted gathering of five might on first encounter, instil a supernatural eerie fractured with a sinister hollowing, but scratch away and what becomes all too apparent is a burdening bruised forlorn sentenced to patrol for eternity a cruel emptiness. this be the Northern Lighthouse Board with ‘the Wych Elm’, a beautifully bleak tethering of such sorrowed apertures, where the ancient heraldic of the Heartwood Institute like ‘spirit slates’ meets and mourns with the despairing drift of the graven opus ‘the green children of woolpit’ and where to its exit, stage left, the droning morose of ‘Postlude’ tearfully waits, hoping beyond hope, an end might be nigh," (Mark Barton, The Sunday Experience)
