I read a TON of historical fiction, which means I’ve read plenty of stories set Jolly Olde England, which at times wasn’t very jolly. It certainly was not for the poor souls who arrived at the Tower of London via the Traitor’s Gate. I was ever so excited to arrive at the Tower by boat on the Thames and get an up-close view of the gate (fully accessible only at low tide) that I’ve read so much about.
