What is recorded here

Bingham Castle House kept five towers on its estate walls, including the ruined one at the north-west courtyard angle. They appeared during the late 1800s or early 1900s, embellishing the grounds like markers for a household that believed its own boundary should look memorable. The tower stood until demolition in the early 20th century, leaving behind a shape remembered more often than seen.
Located at the NW angle of the courtyard of Bingham Castle House (MA024-002001-).
