What is recorded here

Tiverton Castle - The south-east tower is a castle, fort or tower in Mid Devon, England. Perhaps it watched the valley for centuries before becoming a shadow in the grass. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine standing inside the ruin, listening for footsteps that never stopped falling.
