Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historic castle and citadel on the north bank of the River Thames. It was founded in 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. It has played a prominent role in British history. The castle has been used as a armory, treasury, menagerie, public record office, home of the royal mint, and home of the crowned jewels. It's been more than 30 years since Mom and I visited the Tower of London. Mostly I remember seeing the crown jewels, learning about the beheadings, and being introduced to the ravens. At the time, there was one named Ronald Raven.
