Beauchamp Tower, Medieval tower at Tower of London, England
The Beauchamp Tower stands as a stone structure within the inner defensive wall of the Tower of London, featuring three separate floor levels.
Built between 1275 and 1281 during King Edward I's reign, the tower received its name from Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, its first prisoner.
The walls of the tower contain numerous inscriptions and carvings left by prisoners, including messages from Lady Jane Grey and the Dudley brothers.
The interior chambers of the tower remain open to visitors throughout the year as part of the standard Tower of London admission ticket.
The Victorian architect Anthony Salvin conducted extensive renovations in 1851, recreating the medieval characteristics while preserving the historical prisoner markings.
