What is recorded here

The Tower House, Talgarth is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a watchtower for a lost valley road, watching carts and riders pass below. Maybe its rooms held a family who measured years by storm and harvest rather than dates. Imagine a lamp still burning in one window, not for ownership but for memory.
