In-Depth Information
Get out your Tower-issued map to check out other areas you can visit. The
Salt Tower
has graffiti by Henry Walpole, a staunch Catholic who was imprisoned here by Queen
Elizabeth I, tortured on the rack, and had a finger torn off. At the
Royal Fusiliers Regi-
mental Museum
you can see the uniforms, swords, and fusils (flintlock rifles) of the army
of Redcoats who've fought Napoleon, the American War of Independence, two World
Wars (“Monty”—Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery of D-Day fame—was a Fusilier),
and wars in the Persian Gulf.
Take one final look at the stern stone walls of the Tower. Be glad you can leave.
