Windsor Courtyard Stone Buttress

A rough-hewn stone buttress juts from the courtyard’s crenellated wall, its weathered surface catching flickers of evening light as the Doctor and Ace sprint to intercept Lady Peinforte. The vertical face provides minimal concealment—just enough to shield against stray glances while tracking suspicious movement across the open stone flags. Its solid mass contrasts with the Doctor’s urgency, a relic of medieval fortification now repurposed as a temporary aid in pursuit.

S25E8 · Silver Nemesis Part 1
Doctor and Ace blend into hostile grounds

The stone buttress provides minimal cover, allowing Ace and the Doctor to duck behind it when Lady Peinforte and her Corgis approach. Its rough texture offers no concealment from casual glance but shields them from direct line of sight long enough to avoid immediate detection.

Before: An inert architectural element of the courtyard wall, unremarkable in form and condition, positioned to break sightlines near the Doctor and Ace’s path.
After: Remains unchanged, now functioning as a temporary refuge and vantage point for the Doctor and Ace as they reassess their approach.
