BANTAMS BLANK CLINTON TEAM to hold their executions in the old days, also the place inside the tower walls-where all of Henry VIII wives were beheaded, the actual spot where the blood had set, also where they were buried in the Chapel. Also saw the room in the tower where the two young princes were murdered. The Tower of London is made up of some twenty towers. All have different names, some named after prisoners that had occupied these towers at some time or other such as the Warwick Tower and so on. This one where the princes were held was called the Bloody Tower. Sir Walter Rawleigh was prisoner in this tower for 12 years. The guide that showed us around told us that the only' man to escape from this tower was a Scotchman and his name was George Ross. He had carved some Writing on the stone walls but all I could make out was his name, Other prisoners in this same tower also. had writings carved in the walls, They were covered with glass to keep them preserved, I guess. Anyway the English didn't want to execute this Scotchman for fear of having trouble with the Scots so they gave him a chance to make a run for it and by all accounts he got away. I don't know why lie was held a prisoner. Well Aunt Lexie we are having Pretty cold weather here at times. I suppose it will be getting fairly cold at home now also.
