Medieval moated site and later fortified manor house known as Bury Castle 100m west of the parish church — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Bury Castle began as a moated medieval site and later became a fortified manor house, sitting one hundred metres west of the parish church in Bury, England. Water surrounded the first hall, forcing every visitor to approach by a narrow bridge where guards could watch for danger. The later manor kept that defensive spirit inside stone walls, suggesting its owners still feared intrusion long after the initial moat lost its edge. The church stands nearby, giving the castle a domestic anchor rather than a royal or military one.
