And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Broham Castle, Cumbria, England.
Arrow Loop high in the fortress tower. The inner stones of the looped cross are chamfered, which gives the defending garrison an additional angle for attacking attackers on the battlefield below.
It was erected by Robert de Vipon at the beginning of the XIII century on the site of the Roman Fort Brocavum.
