The Cradle Tower at the Tower of London was built for King Edward III in the 1300s.  He used it as his private gate into the castle when he arrived by boat.  Several of his children were born there and priests and martyrs were imprisoned there in the 1500s.  I took this picture, knowing a little about the dark history of the Tower of London (Ann Boleyn and all), with an ominous feeling about the Tower’s name, but the guide assured me that the tower was not named for some sort of “children’s entrance.“
