What is recorded here

West Way and Seacourt Tower, Botley is a castle, fort or tower in Vale of White Horse, England. Perhaps the tower watched the way, not the town, waiting for carts or riders to appear from the white haze. Maybe its rooms held no treasure but breath, echo and the patience of stone. Imagine a keeper living inside the wall, hearing the road before seeing it.
