Sinead, good to see you again. When I make it to the UK someday you will be my first choice for a tour guide, with coffee's of course. This tour was enjoyable, great narration and just the right amount of information, top notch job. OOP's break's over, back to work.....
Don’t get in trouble with the boss watching my videos
Lovely as always to hear from you Mike
Sinead
Thank you for the fascinating tour, Sinead. The de la pole family are remembered very much in Yorkshire (Hull) area. (My home city) The family held huge swathes of land - they are still remembered in Hull by street names ie. De La Pole avenue & de la pole hospital . Margaret de la pole was considered to be one of the last elderly stalwarts dating from the wars of the roses whose family line could oppose the Tudor claim for the throne. Henry felt at the time that there was a significant threat from this family and supporters. I think of “A man for all seasons” stunning film about Sir Thomas More when I watched your tour. Fabulous!
Oh Claire must check out that movie
Thank you for your loyal following and wonderful comment great additional information
Sinead
I was born in east end of London but left London many years ago. I have got great memories around the west end & the tower of London. I do kinda miss that part of London. Love your channel. Sometimes it makes me abit homesick?
I can totally relate
When I left New York could watch anything for a long time
Hopefully our tours will substitute for you not being here
Thanks for watching

Would you believe I don’t even hear myself saying it lol

Thank you! I spent two days in 1985 lost in London trying to get to the Tower on my own, lol!! Many friendly people gave me all sorts of directions on which busses and trains to take, but none worked!!😆 It was a miracle I found my hotel again. In the end I got a double decker bus tour past the outside, the inside was closed by then. Bless you, my dear.💖🌹

Brilliant again Sinead. Thank you.
Folks, as great and amazing as these videos obviously are, there are no excuses not to also experience a live tour with Sinead and the other excellent guides in the company if you are in or planning to be in London. Be sure to book a walking tour with them. Seeing a video is a great thing, but experiencing their undoubted charm, warmth and knowledge in person is completely different again.

@@George-iy8dd make sure you keep us posted I’ll let you know my schedule
Quick question are you Cork or Dublin ? I have in my head your from either could be wrong on both counts of course
Sinead
@@leary210275 Hey Sinead! I hate to say it but you are indeed wrong on both counts! To be fair though I haven't given you any clues as to my location. I'm actually living in Northern Ireland (Co. Derry). I love Cork though. My best friend lives just outside Blarney, so we visit him once a year or so. I love traipsing around the English Market in Cork! Yes, I will keep you posted. I'm just waiting for a good flight and hotel deal to come up that includes a Saturday night. Likely to be in November now though.
Absolutely love these execution tours especially with Halloween around the corner it really sets the mood. I absolutely love the dark and macabre history. More please sinead, thankyou again
We love the spooky season, too! And, thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.

Great tour!
Thanks for watching

Brilliant work 👏👏👏
Excellent video! As a Tudor history buff, you've made all of the locations real, placing us there - up close and personal, instead of the still photos and old illustration's that don't do justice to the dark history of these political executions sites.
Like time travelers, we stand in the very place where the crowds and condemned long ago witnessed the bloody end of nobility and dissidents.
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Thank you! Excellent information!
Delighted you enjoyed it
Thank you
Sinead
I just needed to say ,I love your videos, I'm sorry can't leave tips at the moment. I am British living in California, your videos bring me joy. I'm have long past retirement age and walking long distances are not for me anymore. So it's lovely to pretend I'm walking with you around London. I have seen more places now than I ever had while living in UK. Thank you for taking the time to show me around 😊 Blessed be always 💖💖
No worries, Jackie. Your comment is payment enough. We are so glad to bring a bit of London to you in California. And thank you for subscribing. We have almost 60 videos in our back catalogue :).

Another excellent video of London's darker history (which I find morbidly interesting) I live in a small village in the fens called Littleport and my adopted home has a very morbid history which you many find interesting called The Littleport Riots. Who knows, you may do a video on that some day.
Never say never!
Love the video!! I was just wondering if you had any plans to do a tour around Hampton Court at anypoint? Thanks!

@@leary210275 well Sinead I think we all enjoy your work because your commentary is second to none...and as they say up north ur always well turned out....
The festival atmosphere also accompanied those condemned to death during the French Revolution.At that time execution was a form of entertainment for the masses as is most violence is today in movies and on television.
Woo hoo my girls back xxxxx

Catherine of Aragon was originally married the Henry VII's first son, Arthur, elder brother to Henry VIII. After Arthur's death Henry VIII decided it was only right that she should still be Queen and so took on his brother's widow as his wife... Didn't last long obviously.
Their marriage lasted 23 years, although it had a tragic end I wouldn't say it didn't last long
@@tazmin5020 Good point. I worded that badly.

Home Secretary Jack Straw in 1997 announced that they were repealing the last of the capital punishment laws. And yes because politics is not a speedy business it finally went through as you said Sinead in 1998.

Very enjoyable and informative tour Sinead. Just wish to point out that Jane Seymour is buried in St George's Chapel at Windsor with Henry VIII and not at St Peter ad Vincula.
Good catch, Marcos! Sinead visited Henry's grave in this video: czcams.com/video/wNOMkDT69Ts/video.html :)

Wasn't Margaret named Pole? (not Pope)
Thanks, for yet another great tour ❤️❤️❤️
You are correct, Anne!
I am surprised that King Henry is seen as a romantic figure sometimes but in reality he wears a sadistic monster. I am glad there is a memorial for his victims. I would like to place so flowers 💐for their memories.
Maybe one day you can in person Parminder
Lovely to hear from you
Hope you are well
Sinead
Thanks for this tour. I lived for a while in London and visited the Tower but never saw half of this.
I feel especially sad for the Second World War German spy hanged in the Tower. He was only doing his duty, as he saw it, by his country. I think he was the spy mentioned by the hangman Albert Pierrepont, who hanged him, in Pierrepont's autobiography. He was mentioned surprisingly unsympathetically. Pierrepont clearly didn't see it my way. Perhaps enduring a war hardens one's outlook.
I also feel sad for Margaret de la Pole. I suspect the story about her running from the executioner is either a gross exaggeration or a totally fabricated tale put about by the Tudors. I've heard it said that at that time being afraid to die was seen as a sign of not daring to face God's judgement and the story put her in a bad light. I think Henry VIII not only took her life but took away her good name after death as well.
The spy (Josef Jakobs) was shot in the firing range at the tower in 1941
13 years locked in the tower with his wife and children...never again should a simple man need to endure such inhumanity.
It was barbaric wasn’t it
I know they had very few means of entertainment, but I just can’t get my head around how executions were a form of entertainment for the masses. 😢
Terrifying isn’t it
Thanks as always for your amazing loyal following
Sineadb
Their name was 'POLE', not POPE
Wouldn't you think the council would keep it looking clean like they do in other countries.
I didn’t notice it being dirty
I can't see a beefeater, I can, however, see a Yeoman Warder
Some people just can't deal with it.
Hard to miss aren’t they ?
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Great account, but it was Margaret Pole, (not Pope), and Jane Seymour is buried in St George's chapel Windsor Castle in a tomb with Henry VIII and Charles I.
Just as a point of interest Sinead - did you know it is still a capital offence (and still on the ancient statute books and has never been repealed) to not eat mint sauce with lamb!!! Apparently, in the middle ages when the very poor would 'rustle' a sheep from the landowner, would butcher it and eat it there wasn't ready access to mint (I know - today it grows in profusion - but not in the middle ages) and so only the rich would eat mint sauce with lamb. If you were caught eating lamb without mint sauce it was assumed you had no right to the sheep and you could be executed for it. Capital punishment for sheep-stealing was relealed in 1832 but the mint sauce clause was forgotten and not repealed. So - always make sure you have mint sauce with your lamb :)
Why is the area around the Roman wall so terribly overgrown?
