Martin Hardie painted Orford Castle around 1940. It’s a watercolour of a tall stone tower built in 1165. A few tiny visitors stand at the entrance to show how big it is. The castle’s keep is almost all that’s left after 800 years. It’s been a tourist spot since the 1800s. Next time you’re in London, peek at the real watercolour at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
