Description

Background story: Watching’ in its previous lifeform was part of a large exterior gate to a courtyard
and around 100 years old, although the house is much older. The marking from a gate hinge can be
found, and calls back to when gate provided a place of safety for the owners. The wood is pine
matchboard, most probably locally sourced (E.Mids) and planted around 1900-1910. The building
itself was previously a shop, on a busy village street and so the gate will have witnessed comings and
goings of deliveries, the family living in the house over time, the smithy next door, the village school
opposite, and subsequent history over the past century or so.
