What is recorded here
The lake at Old Wardour Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Wiltshire, England. Perhaps the water remembers the shape of a hall that no longer stands. Maybe the stones beneath the surface still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine standing at the edge at dusk, listening for a knock from below.
