Secrets of the Tower of London

A historic place very well shown and explained in this marvelous historic dvd.

Interesting and entertaining account of a most daunting and perhaps in modern times, most "taken for granted" medieval structure in England. The Yeoman Warders featured in the show were the same ones we saw and listened to on a very early morning visit to the Tower in 2016. So I see this DVD as a nice piece of memorabilia from what was a MOST CRACKING English holiday!

This is an intriguing look at one of England's most enduring historic places: The Tower of London. Royal plalace, royal mint, royal menagerie, infamous site of royal executions & the Crown Jewels ~~ The Tower of LOndon is all of these as well as home of the Beefeaters. It not only provides a look at the Tower's 900+ year history, it gives a rare glimpse of the Beefeater's life inside the Tower as well. I lived in England for 8 years & visited the Tower often & never failed to learn something new about this historic shrine.

My best like was that Ravenmaster Chris Skaife was featured.

I only wish the DVD would be longer, but in its brief running time, there is a lot to learn not just about the Tower of London but those who work, live and sadly died there.

several years ago, I spent a day touring the Tower of London - after viewing this DVD I realize there was much that I missed - this is far better than fighting the crowds - it's well filmed and gets the viewer into corners of the Tower that might be unknown to the visitor - would love to see a similar DVD on Windsor Castle

I saw this on PBS last month and jumped to buy it for my woman friend who loved re-living the tour for her as she gushed with excitement pointing at everything that she had seen so many years ago but this was done in 2013. An update in dress and autos but the British accents were still the SAME!

After visiting the Tower in 2008, this was a great review of what we saw and a wonderful look back at the history within. We enjoyed it throughly! Thank you.

INTERESTING. THE WHOLE FAMILY ENJOYED THIS. VERY INFORMATIVE.
