The Tower Of London
The Tower of London built by William the Conqueror in 1078 to guard the river approach to London. It was restored in 1700, but the original part of the White Tower (so named because Henry III had it whitewashed both inside and out) still stands.
From 1322 onwards the Tower held prisoners suspected of plotting the downfall of the Monarch. Amongst the most famous prisoners held there were Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey, the Earl of Essex and the young princes, Edward V and Richard of York. The last prisoner was the Nazi, Rudolph Hess. He was held from 17-21 May 1941.
Today, the Tower is probably best known as the home of the Crown Jewels.
