Tower Hill is an elevated spot north-west of the Tower of London, just outside the limits of the City of London in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Formerly it was part of the Tower Liberty under the direct administrative control of Tower. Belonging to one of the oldest parts of London, archeological evidence shows that there was a settlement on the hill in the Bronze Age and much later a Roman village that was burnt down during the Boudicca uprising.

  • Tower Hill is an elevated spot north-west of the Tower of London, just outside the limits of the City of London in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Formerly it was part of the Tower Liberty under the direct administrative control of Tower. Belonging to one of the oldest parts of London, archeological evidence shows that there was a settlement on the hill in the Bronze Age and much later a Roman village that was burnt down during the Boudicca uprising. The church All Hallows-by-the-Tower is renowned for fragments of Romanesque architecture dating back to the year 680. Public executions of high-profile criminals were carried out on the hill. Among those executed there were: James Tuchet, 7th Baron Audley, one of the commanders of the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 who was beheaded on 28 June 1497 Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham - 1521 John Fisher - 1535 Sir Thomas More - 1535 George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford - 1536 Lord Guilford Dudley - 1554 Sir Anthony Babington - 1586 Mervyn Tuchet, otherwise Audley, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven - 1631 William Laud - 1645 Sir Henry Vane the Younger - 1662 James Crofts (Scott), 1st Duke of Monmouth - 1685 William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock - 1746 Robert Boyd of Clan Boyd 1746 Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat - 1747 It is the site of the Tower Hill Memorial, Tower Gateway DLR station, and Tower Hill tube station.
  • Tower Hill ist eine Erhebung nordwestlich des Tower of London zwischen den Stadtbezirken City of London und London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Im späten Mittelalter hatte es seine eigene Gerichtsbarkeit und stand unter der Verwaltung des Towers of London. Ausgrabungen weisen auf eine frühe Besiedlung des Hügels schon während der Bronzezeit hin. In der Römerzeit entstand eine kleine Kleinstadt, die während des Boudicca-Aufstandes 60–61 n. Chr. niedergebrannt wurde. Die Kirche All Hallows-by-the-Tower ist bekannt für ihre teilweise romanische Baukunst, die auf das Jahr 680 zurückdatiert wurde. Öffentliche Hinrichtungen von aristokratischen Verbrechern wurden auf dem Hügel vollzogen. Unter ihnen waren: James Tuchet, 7. Baron Audley, einer der Befehlshaber in der Cornish Rebellion von 1497, der am 28. Juni 1497 hingerichtet wurde Edward Stafford, 3. Herzog von Buckingham - 1521 John Fisher - 1535 Thomas More - 1535 Guilford Dudley - 1554 Anthony Babington - 1586 Mervyn Tuchet, 2. Herzog von Castlehaven - 1631 William Laud - 1645 Henry Vane - [1662] Algernon Sidney - 7. Dezember 1683 James Scott, 1. Herzog von Monmouth - 1685 William Boyd, 4. Herzog von Kilmarnock - 1746 Robert Boyd des Clan Boyd - [1746 Simon Fraser, 11. Lord Lovat - 1747 Frauen dagegen wurden im Tower Green innerhalb der Mauern des Tower of London hingerichtet. In Tower Hill gibt es noch das Tower Hill Memorial und Station Tower Hill (London Underground).
  • Tower Hill is een kleine heuvel of verhoging in Londen, Engeland, gelegen tussen de City of London en de wijk Tower Hamlets. Het gebied grenst aan de Tower of London en viel voorheen (tot 1894) ook onder het beheer van de Tower. Tower Hill ligt in een omgeving die behoort tot de oudste bewoonde gedeelten van de stad. Archeologische vondsten tonen aan dat er al in de Bronstijd sprake was van bewoning. Ten tijde van de aanwezigheid van de Romeinen in Engeland lag hier een klein dorp, dat in vlammen opging tijdens een door Boudicca geleide opstand tegen de Romeinen in 61 na Chr. De kerk All Hallows-by-the-Tower dateert uit 680, en is daarmee bijna vier eeuwen ouder dan de Tower. Het gebouw is vermaard vanwege de bewaard gebleven Romaanse fragmenten. Het gebied heeft ook een wat lugubere geschiedenis, aangezien het de plek was waar notoire criminelen en vaak hooggeplaatste veroordeelden in het openbaar terecht werden gesteld. Onder de hier geëxecuteerden bevonden zich: James Tuchet, Baron Audley, een van de leiders van de Cornish Rebellion, onthoofd op 28 juni 1497 Edward Stafford, 3e hertog van Buckingham, (1521) John Fisher (bisschop), (1535) Thomas More, (1535) George Boleyn, (1536) Guilford Dudley, (1554) Anthony Babington, (1586) Mervyn Tuchet, 2e graaf van Castlehaven, (1631) William Laud, Aartsbisschop van Canterbury, (1645) Henry Vane, staatsman en parlementslid, (1662) James Scott, 1e hertog van Monmouth, (1685) William Boyd, 4e graaf van Kilmarnock, (1746) Robert Boyd, behorend tot de Schotse clan Clan Boyd, (1746) Lord Lovat, Schots edelman, (1747) Vrouwen en ook enkele 'bevoorrechte' mannelijke edelen werden geëxecuteerd op Tower Green, gelegen binnen de muren van de Tower, dit om de privacy van de edelen te beschermen en ze niet bloot te hoeven stellen aan de reacties van het gewone publiek. Nabij Tower Hill liggen de stations Tower Hill Memorial van de Docklands Light Railway en het metrostation Tower Hill.
  • Tower Hill er en høyde nordvest for Tower of London i bydelen Tower Hamlets i London. Det tilhørte tidligere Liberties of the Tower of London, og ble administrert direkte fra slottet. Området er en av de eldste bebodde delene av London, og arkeologiske funn viser at det var en bosetning der i bronsealderen og senere en romersk landsby som ble brent ned under Boadiceas opprør. Tower Hill regnes sammen med Cornhill og Ludgate Hill som en av Londons tre historiske høyder. Kirken All-Hallows-by-the-Tower er kjent for fragmenter av romansk arkitektur som er datert til 680. Offentlige henrettelser av personer av høy rang ble utført på høyden. Det var forbeholdt de som skulle henrettes ved halshogging; de av lavere rang ble oftest hengt ved Tyburn eller andre steder. Noen kvinner som egentlig skulle vært henrettet på Tower Hill ble i stedet ført til skafott Blant de som ble henrettet på Tower Hill er: John de Vere, 12. jarl av Oxford Edward Stafford, 3. hertug av Buckingham John Fisher Thomas More George Boleyn, vicomte Rochford Henry Howard, jarl av Surrey Edward Seymour, 1. hertug av Somerset Thomas Seymour, 1. baron Seymour av Sudeley Guilford Dudley Anthony Babington Mervyn Tuchet, 2. jarl av Castlehaven William Laud Henry Vane den yngre James Scott, 1. hertug av Monmouth William Boyd, 4. jarl av Kilmarnock Robert Boyd Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat På stedet finner man Tower Hill Memorial, en kenotaf for de falne fra handelsmarinen og fiskeflåten under begge verdenskriger som ikke har noen grav. Tower Gateway DLR-stasjon og Tower Hill undergrunnsstasjon ligger på høyden. Tower of London undergrunnsstasjon lå der tidligere.
