What is recorded here
Gate House of the drive to Castle Ashby House is a castle, fort or tower in West Northamptonshire, England. Perhaps it stood as a lonely guardpost, watching the road for carts and strangers before the main house appeared. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of hands that built it in a hurry, shaping a small defense against the open countryside.
