Many Tudor prisoners
entered the Tower of London through the Traitors' Gate.
The gate was built by Edward I, to provide a water gate
entrance to the Tower, part of St. Thomas's Tower, which
was designed to provide additional accommodation for the
royal family.
In the pool behind Traitors' Gate was an engine that was
used for raising water to a cistern on the roof of the White
Tower. The engine worked originally by the force of the
tide or by horsepower and eventually by steam. In 1724-6
it was adapted to drive machinery for boring gun barrels.
It was removed in the 1860s.
The name Traitors' Gate has been used since the early seventeenth
century, prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames,
passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently
executed prisoners were displayed on pikes. Anne Boleyn,
Sir Thomas More, Queen Catherine Howard, all entered the
Tower by Traitors'Gate.
