What is recorded here
St Michael's Church tower is a castle, fort or tower in East Hertfordshire, England. Perhaps it stood as a watchtower above the flat fields, watching for trouble long before churches needed bells. Maybe the stone walls held heat in winter and cooled hands in summer. Imagine a keeper climbing the stairs at dusk, listening for hoofbeats or silence.
