    Old Castles.
    There is an old castle in Longfield. It is west of the school. Sprowls lived there, they were descendants of Cromwell's. They were the landlords around here long ago but there is none of them left now. There is a date on a wall in front of the castle it is 1748. There is an orchard and some old barns beside it.
