Today, our very own Christopher met a man who works at the Tower of London whose name was also Chris. Christopher asked him all about the Tower of London.
The Tower is one of the most popular places to visit in London. It has about 1,000 years of history. The Tower of London was built right next to the Thames River. Do not let the name fool you! This fortress is made up of many of buildings. Some of the buildings are the White Tower, the Martin Tower, and the Bloody Tower. The Tower of London is guarded by the Yeoman Warders.
Chris told us all about the Bloody Tower and the terrible story of the two princes. In 1483, Edward V and his brother Richard disappeared while they were staying at the Tower of London. People think that their uncle had them killed. The princes were just kids so it was a very terrible thing to have happen.
Some famous people have been kept and put to death at the Tower. The most famous is Anne Boleyn. Some people say her ghost haunts the Tower today.
A little scared,
