        Site of the Day for Monday, April 20, 2003              

        The Tower of London

Enjoy a virtual exploration of the famous Tower of London from this
interesting website. Gentle Members with either a lot of patience or a
speedy broadband connection will discover a wealth of legends and
traditions associated with this well-known historical location.

"Welcome to our Tower of London website, created in association with the
Yeoman Warders of the Tower. We hope that this site will help to capture
some of the magic and excitement that you get when visiting the Tower in
person. We have tried to bring you as much information as possible about
the tower and show you some of the areas that are not accessible when you
visit in person." - from the website

The site offers an historical overview of the Tower, explanations of
various traditions such as the Ceremony of the Keys, information on the
Yeoman Warders, the Tower's famous ravens, ghost stories and the crown
jewels and naturally, the prisoners of the Tower, including those who
escaped. Appropriate period music accompanies many of the site's pages.
Gentle Members may enjoy the amusing "Shoot for Your Life" game wherein the
List lost its head to the Tower's executioner.
