The Tower of London was begun by William the Conqueror as a fortress and a palace. Later kings made it larger and kept soldiers, armour, weapons, treasure, and sometimes important prisoners there. For 5 hundred years coins of realm were minted at the Tower and official documents stored in some of the castle buildings. There was even a zoo there which began as the king’s private collection of animals.

Nowadays it is busy with thousands of visitors. In fact the Tower today is like a traditional English village. The ravens are certainly among the most important residents in the Tower, for – so the story goes- if they ever leave , the Tower will fall and England with it. These days there are usually about six or eight ravens hopping and pecking around the Tower lawns in the daytime. One of the Yeoman Warders cares for them. He feeds them on raw meat, biscuits soaked in blood, rabbits’ heads, fruit and eggs. He takes them back into their cage every night, and from time to time clips their wings- just to make sure that they never leave.
