Yesterday's London Times

Deathly Dungeons: Tudors Haunt the Tower


Listen Later

The Tower of London has watched over the city for nearly a millennium.  If you are a priceless Jewel,  the Tower is your protector. To countless of the city’s accused, a captor.

Royals, regals, religious, and rogues. The Tower has seen them all.

Many have been famous, and many more have been lost to history.

Holding in all of these secrets is a challenge for the Tower, and, late at night, after the tourists have gone, perhaps the fortress wants to release some of its tension. Perhaps some former tower residents, want to stand as witnesses and keep memories - even ghastly memories - alive. 

In this episode we share stories of two lesser known Tudor ghosts, and we bump into some more along the way. 

Take a look at our SHOW NOTES for images, sources, and more.
