What is recorded here
Water Tower, just north of Wethersfield, Essex is a castle, fort or tower in Braintree, England. Perhaps it watched the fields for thieves or simply gave a tall shadow to the low land. Maybe children climbed its rough edges while adults pretended not to see. Imagine it standing empty, patient, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.
