and also the place where
Crown Jewels are kept. It comprises not one,
but 20 towers. The oldest of which, the White

history come from the Tower. In 1483 King
Edward IV's two sons were murdered in the
so-called Bloody Tower. Of course, no visit
to the Tower would be complete without
seeing the ravens; huge black birds. Legend
states that if the ravens were to leave the
Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with
it. Under the special care of the Raven
Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw
meat. And there is no danger of them flying
away, because their wings are clipped.

Tower was originally named the
Garden Tower. But was given this nickname
from the murderous events which were
believed to have occurred in the building. It

of the two little Princes in the Tower –
Edward V and his brother the Duke of York.

met his death here. Others who suffered
imprisonment or death in the Bloody Tower

mysterious circumstances in 1585; Hanging
Judge Jeffreys , Sir Thomas Overbury, poet
and many others.
