Inside the walls of the Tower of London stands a small Tudor church with an extraordinary and often tragic history. The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula is situated beside Tower Green, where several famous prisoners were executed. Its name means “St Peter in Chains,” an appropriate dedication for a chapel associated so closely with imprisonment and death.
