Sir Benjamin Stone (1838-1914)
Princess Elizabeth's Walk at the Tower of London 1898
-
Photograph of Princess Elizabeth's Walk at the Tower of London. The walkway is blocked by piles of timber planks and poles and there are ladders propped up against the rampart's walls, possibly suggesting some kind of renovation work being undertaken at the time the photograph was made.
The title refers to the rampart leading from the Bell Tower to Beauchamp Tower, along which the future Queen Elizabeth I strolled during her imprisonment in the Tower. In 1554 she was sent to the tower for two months by her half-sister Mary on suspicion of involvement in a plot against her, led by the traitor Sir Thomas Wyatt. -
