What is recorded here

Rosemary Farm, Castle Hedingham is a castle, fort or tower in Braintree, England. Perhaps rosemary still grows through the castle ruins, marking the farm that gave the place its name. Maybe the building stood tall before it fell into fields, and the fields kept the shape of the room. Imagine a person walking past the remains at dusk, smelling herbs instead of remembering stone.
