What is recorded here
Peacock at Mountfitchet Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Uttlesford, England. Perhaps the peacock strutted across broken stone while people watched from a distance. Maybe its tail opened like a green flame above the ruins. Imagine the bird owning the castle now, proud and unafraid.
