What is recorded here

Masonry from Fotheringhay Castle is a castle, fort or tower in North Northamptonshire, England. Perhaps the stones remember hands that built a tower tall enough to watch the flat land. Maybe they fell when the castle changed or disappeared. Imagine a chamber where a person lived, breathed and left a mark no longer visible.
