The Two Rocks

For thou art my rock and my fortress – The Red Castle, built into a cliff at Hawkstone Park
|
The Red Castle is so named because of the red brick from which it is built. It is a strange circular tower built into the side of a cliff during the Middle Ages. Graham was certain that he was right about the mysterious numbers in Thomas Wright’s book being references to Psalm verses in the Bible. On a sunny February morning, Graham first stood on top of this almost forgotten, overgrown building and consulted what appeared to be the next clue. If his reasoning was correct, it was Psalm 61, verse 2, the final line of which read: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
From the Red Castle there is only one higher location in the immediate vicinity: a towering rock called the White Cliff which directly overlooks the castle about a quarter of a mile to the west. On top of the White Cliff is the arch of a ruined chapel, built in the eighteenth century by the owner of the Hawkstone Park estate, one Rowland Hill. Like the Red Castle, it would have been there in Thomas Wright’s time a century later. Surely, this had to be the place the verse had been chosen to allude to. |
