On Saturday May 12 Prof. Wolfe took a group of us to the Tower of London. The Tower has served as a castle in wartime, the King's residence in peace time, a prison, and an execution site. We were able to observe the crown jewels, the executioners block, many of the towers within the Tower of London -including the White Tower, Beauchamp Tower, the Queen's House, the Bloody Tower, and the Chapel of St. John,- the weaponry and arms throughout England's history, and we were able to see the Yeoman Warders, known as 'Beefeaters', who guard and live in the Tower.
