Bennington Lordship Castle Ruins with Snowdrops is a castle, fort or tower in East Hertfordshire, England. Perhaps snowdrops push through broken stone where a lord once walked. Maybe the ruins still hold the shape of a room lost to time. Imagine white flowers marking the feet of someone who vanished before records began.
