ore he was to have been beheaded, 1716. Some parts of the house
are of great antiquity, among them the rooms in the Bell Tower, those on
the upper storey which open on the leads and the rampart known as The
Prisoners' Walk, and the Council Room, a handsome apartment containing a
curious monument of the Gunpowder Plot. In this room Guy Fawkes and his
associates were examined, 1605. The interior of the King's House is not
shown to the public. Next to it is the house of the Gentleman Gaoler,
or Chief Warder. It was in this house that Lady Jane Grey lived when
a prisoner, and from its windows saw her husband go forth from the
adjoining Beauchamp Tower to his execution on Tower Hill, and his
headless body brought to the chapel "in a carre," while the scaffold was
being prepared for her own death on the Green in front, which took place
on the same day, Monday, 12th February, 1554.
