Abstract

The Tower of London is a historic landmark with a long and diverse history. It has served as a palace, prison, treasury, and more over the past 900 years. Built by William the Conqueror in 1066, the Tower has housed notable prisoners and witnessed significant events, such as the executions of Sir Thomas More and Anne Boleyn. It played a role in religious conflicts, including the imprisonment of recusant Catholics. The text also mentions various escape attempts, ghost stories, and legends associated with the Tower.
