Within the Tower Walls: Commemorating Anne Boleyn
In this episode of The Tudor History And Travel Show, we travel to the Tower of London, whose ancient walls imprisoned some legendary inmates, including perhaps the most famous of all, Queen Anne Boleyn. Joined by Assistant Buildings Curator, Alfred Hawkins, we explore some of the well-known, and much less well-known, nooks and crannies of this notorious fortress/palace and prison. This episode features exclusive material that was previously available only to members, now shared with everyone as part of this special commemoration of Anne Boleyn. Some references within the episode relate to events that have since passed, reflecting the original recording date — although, of course, the Tudor stories themselves are timeless. To see a gallery of images associated with the places we discuss in this episode, head to the associated show notes page and blog here.
