What is recorded here
Ruined walls within grounds of Old Wardour Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Wiltshire, England. Perhaps stones struck hot sun and dropped shadows across grass. Maybe people walked past broken walls and felt small. Imagine a room lost inside the ruin, waiting for someone to remember it.

Old Wardour Castle was built by the Lucy family in the 14th century and later held by the Rich family in the 16th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a late medieval manor house and for its historical associations with prominent local families.
