This post is of the Armory within the White Tower, According to what I've read this is said to be the first museum in Britain. The White Tower was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, it has served as Royal Palace, storage for gun powder, it is believed that the basement was a dungeon. This room is decorated with different types of swords and armor from the Tudor and Stuart Kings. I will be posting several photos of King Henry VIII armor that was on display when I visited the Tower..Tower of London. Enjoy and thanks for the comments and thoughts
