What is recorded here

Killingworth Castle, Wootton is a castle, fort or tower in West Oxfordshire, England. Perhaps its stones still hold the heat of hands that built them, waiting for someone strong enough to lift the first block. Maybe the castle never left, only changed shape, moving into roads, fields and memories until it became the whole district. Imagine walking past it every day, certain you understand the name, while the castle watches you learn the difference between seeing and knowing.
