Tales from the Tower

Catalogue No: EM351309

Through its thousand year history the Tower of London has been at times a fortress, a palace, a prison, a treasury and an armoury. It has welcomed Kings, Queens and Princes as both residents and prisoners and has been used as both a family home and a place of torture and execution. These three programs, narrated by Dallas Campbell, explore some of the many stories that surround the Tower of London, Britain's most popular tourist attraction. The dark tales give a fascinating insight into the often sombre history of one of England's greatest landmarks and touch on the lives of great historical figures including Lady Jane Grey, Sir Walter Raleigh, Colonel Thomas Blood, Guy Fawkes, Wat Tyler, Sir Francis Walsingham and many more. This is a digital only release.
