What is recorded here

Tower with steeple, St Mary the Virgin, Braughing is a castle, fort or tower in East Hertfordshire, England. Perhaps the steeple pierced low clouds while villagers watched shadows lengthen across flat fields. Maybe children climbed rope ladders inside the tower before being chased away by stern voices. Imagine the structure standing guard not against invaders but against forgetting, its angle unchanged while roofs and roads disappeared around it.
