What is recorded here
St Andrew, Hempstead, Essex - Tower is a castle, fort or tower in Uttlesford, England. Perhaps the tower stood guard over quiet fields while hemp growers watched the horizon for trouble. Maybe its stones marked a boundary between ordinary life and the dangerous reach of larger powers. Imagine a keeper climbing wooden stairs at dawn, listening for horses or hunger in the distance.
