Tower Green

Queen Victoria asked for information on the exact location where the executions took place and had some granite paving laid to mark the spot.

Tower Green is an open space located south of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula.

In the middle of the green is a small square plot paved with granite, which shows the site commonly believed to be the spot on which stood the scaffold on which private executions took place.

As a result of relaying the 19th century granite sett stones, shallow excavations of the foundations revealed remains of a building that sat on that site.

[3] The executions at the Tower Green were done inside this building to maintain the privacy of the nobles.
