What is recorded here

Haldon Belvedere (Lawrence Castle) appeared on the public map of Teignbridge on 26/04/1996. The date suggests a computer entered the name, not a human laying stone. A real castle would have broken that boundary long before any surveyor drew it. The belvedere may still be building itself through the patience of the people who keep returning to watch it change.
