Thank you...I'm a Londoner born and bred, of 66 years..still learning about my "Towns" long and extensive history, which goes back to Sabre Tooth Tigers found under Trafalgar Square.
When the cannibal chief had lit a fire under the water filled cauldron holding a hapless missionary, he asked the man if he had any last requests. The missionary just smiled and said "Yes. Do you have any toilet paper?"
I've always wondered where Tower Hill is located, but never took time to look it up. Thank you so much for dedicating your video to this fascinating history.
Accepting what happened there, Tower Hill was almost gentile in how the process was carried out. Contrast it to places like Tyburn or Smithfield or several other locations
I used to eat my lunch on the bench next to the plaque on Tower Hill when I worked up there in the 70s. Good times, but not for the poor souls who died there.
Torture, beheadings, hung, drawn and quartered, being burnt to death, but people nowadays think lethal injections are cruel and unusual punishment. They should watch some of these videos.
I researched this area over and over again. When we arrived I made a bee line straight for that location. Took a bit but I found it. It took 24 hours on a plane to get to London so I felt like I needed to make sure I knew exactly where the spot was before I got there so then I didn't walk around like a crazy person. It may have been a place of misery but it was also a place of fascination as well as a place of much happiness. So much history there and is still there now
The Duke of Monmouth’s executioner has his sword over the correct shoulder for the side he is standing on but standing on that side would have produced a very sloppy swing and cut with his left hand running out of places to go. He could do it from there but a better strike could be had standing on the other side. On staying on the original side it might have worked out better to go left handed. Or the artist might have fudged it.

These lessons are great. If the online lessons are as good as yours , then the children's education will not suffer.
Thank you for your comment Elizabeth :)
