What is recorded here

Braybrooke Castle is a lost medieval moated manor in North Northamptonshire, England, where Thomas de Latimer strengthened his house in the early 14th century. Its broad ditches, ponds and fish-breeding tanks still mark the ground like a water-driven dream, while the house itself disappeared beneath a farmhouse and then vanished again. What remains is not a castle in the proud sense but a living boundary of mud, memory and managed rain, waiting for someone to walk its edges and imagine the hands that shaped them.
