What is recorded here
Tower, Parish church of Liston is a castle, fort or tower in Braintree, England. Perhaps it stood as a watchtower for the parish, its stones marked by generations of hands and weather. Maybe the chamber held ledgers, prayers or warnings, and the tower rose above ordinary rooftops to be seen from a distance. Imagine a keeper climbing at dusk, lighting a lamp or calling across the fields, while the church below waited for the town to return.
