What is recorded here
Water Tower at Stowlangtoft, Suffolk is a castle, fort or tower in Mid Suffolk, England. Perhaps it stood as a quiet watchpost above the flat land, reading the horizon for danger or delivery. Maybe its walls held heat from a small fire when storms closed the sky. Imagine a keeper climbing wooden stairs at dawn, pouring water into a copper basin while the tower swung faintly in the wind.
