Recently, I have received many emails from people planning a visit to the Tower of London asking for help in identifying the part of the Tower where Anne Boleyn was imprisoned in May 1536 and the location of the scaffold. I have written about it in the past – see Anne Boleyn and the Tower […]

Today is one of mourning and tragedy, our Queen is no more, having been brutally slain earlier today. Executed as a traitor within the confines of the Tower of London’s wall.

LIVE FROM TOWER GREEN: We are speaking to an eye-witness to today’s tragic event, Mr. John—oh wait, he doesn’t want us to print his last name for fear of repercussion. As you can see, he is even now wiping away tears. May I ask you, my good man, to describe your experience today? I’d no […]
