Or, is it a Million Pics Are Worth a Word?

People sometimes think this is the remains of a castle 
Elder Blain has his hands open wide to say it is all his for the taking!  He's on top of the world. Ha, ha.

We visited Mow Cop Castle because it was in the area we happened to be doing our work today.  This is actually the remains of a summer home built in 1754.  It can be seen for miles because it is the highest point in all of Staffordshire.  It seems to have been named after the town of Mow Cop, which is nearby.

  3. Not corny in the least. Most interesting wondering about the people and their life back then and how many servants they had to bring stuff up to them. Just think about sitting in the castle and being able to look out every day across the countryside. Intriguing.
