Melissa: When you do go to the Tower one day, plan for a whole day. I only planned half, and I feel like we missed a lot that I wanted to see. The Queens House is called that because forever ago when it was a castle that was where the monarch stayed. The name changes depending on whether a King or Queen is on the throne. The crystal thing is a pillow on a stand to mark the place on the Tower Green where various Royals and higher ups lost their heads. Us common folk had to go outside the Tower grounds into the public square across the street.
Very cool!!! Tower of London is one place I would love to go. Maybe someday. One question though, what exactly is in the second picture? Is it crystal or something? And the Queens house looks nothing like on the Tudors!![]()
