- A video from Oct. 11. 2019, at the Tower of London inside the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula. It's a little long, but interesting and entertaining. Thank you Yeoman Warder Jason Woodcock for a great presentation.
(Please excuse some of my phone meandering off subject -- I was looking all around at the chapel during his history lesson.)
This guy is awesome, I cannot wait to see London. One day....
These Yeomen Warders are great, they make the history a bit more interesting then what it would have been. Great job guys, great job. Thanks for up loading this video, I truly enjoyed it.
And humorous
Yeoman Warder Jason Woodcock was great! Wish I could've been there; I'd have asked to get my picture taken with him! 🥰 All the Yeoman Warders are wonderful representatives of English tradition and history. Thank you for sharing this video. 😊
That was fabulous. Thank you for posting this highly entertaining and informative video 🖤
Thank you for putting the video on .. What amazing history we have ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’ve done the tour a couple of times. Fantastic, the tower is one of my favourite places.
We actually spoke to this Yeoman last week when we visited the Tower and went into St Peter Ad Vincula Church (December 2021)
Wow that guy was amazing! Great job!!!
Fantastic , thanks for this show
Thank you Mr Yeoman, really good 👍👏 👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏💖💕💕💕
Loved this!
I learnt more in this then i did during history class at school 18 years ago
Let us not forget - ALL of these former senior military personnel have likely seen things that you and I cannot even dream of!
Great way to pass on the gift of History. Deviant burials of the time could also have been buried face downwards to deny the person resection on the last day. It was also believed that to be raised from the grave, a person must be buried whole and by ordained clergy. Not only were the executed condemned on Earth they were condemned to hell. I agree with the comment about Lady Jane Grey, Mary l was as evil as her father. Many reformed martyrs died because of her religious intolerance.
In Lewes on Bonfire Night seventeen of those martyrs, local men and women, are still remembered
Loved this ❤
Gday. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Did they not let you go near the altar? I'd die to see Anne Boleyn's grave plaque up close, and know she's just 4 inches down below. Thanks for the video!
I asked a warden if I could take photos of Anne's and Katherine s plaques ( 2 years ago now you can take photos in Chapel)he let me go and take them quickly. something I had wanted to do for years.
It's on the floor behind the yeoman
"Aaand this today is known as severance pay....." **Crickets.... 🤣
Very professional.
He's Great !!!!!
When we were in that chapel - the Yeoman Warder Gary would not allow us to take photographs.
Same
Probably had to ask permission beforehand
@@20PINKluvr in places of worship , like the Chapel , photography is banned
excellent
What is behind that door left side of screen I’m curious
I was in bucking ham palace
Is the audience allowed to file past the alter to see Queen Anne’s grave?
yes
I thought your not allowed to film or take pictures in the chapel?
I was told it was okay and was not the only one taking photos and filming.
@@robrobthompson interesting. I wonder if it depends on the Yeoman or if they changed the rules
They've changed it now.
And in Westminster Abbey you can now take photos
Aha!!, could this be a suitable replacement for the one and only William Edward Callaghan?
NOBODY CAN REPLACE BEEFEATER BILL
Fingers crossed .
I still can't believe that executions were such an event, even in the United States. It's so crazy to think that children were bearing witness to deaths while enjoying a picnic with their family.
They didn't have TV or movies and the peasants couldn't read so this was their only entertainment. Their version of horror (live).
Times were hard, people weren't easily shocked.

What a blood thirsty history this place has.
The bodies are in the walls of the Chapel
At the altar.
Hes a bit off. Its a palace not a prison.
It has been used as both.
He was off on a lot of things. Anne Boleyn didn't beg for a French executioner. One was ordered before the trial even took place and she was found guilty. The executioner didn't hold Anne head in the air either. It is some of the facts that annoyed me about that tour
very good video exceptional places need a good fire in their bellies
You did not give us anything!!! We made our own history bu kicking your ass in the American Revolution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERM can't quite see your relevance on this lol ,😂
Cowboys and indians,and the hot dog.
Yes,quite.
Let us not forget the War of 1812-1814 when the Royal Navy sailed up the Potomac river and set fire to the White House, the Americans had to white wash it to cover up the fire damage, which is why it’s called the White House, the Americans then sued for peace at the end of 1814, even though they won a battle at the end (the battle of New Orleans), but the war was already over at that point so the stupid fuckers were still fighting even though they’d already lost. That’s america and they’ve been working for us ever since!
@@andrewmunn3896 your sad sir if you believe that!! Bc we saved your ass from the Germans ….hmm remember that?
@@kanemary56 took you long enough to enter the war though, both times.
