What is recorded here
Whitehurst and Chirk Castle hold Post Medieval terraces where human hands shaped the land long after medieval foundations. The wall still marks the boundary between private memory and public imagination. Whether it guarded a garden, a estate or a forgotten agreement, the stone preserved the shape of that choice.
