The Jewel Tower
The Jewel Tower, in the hands of English Heritage, is one of only two buildings from the medieval Palace of Westminster to survive the fire of 1834, the tower features a 14th century ribbed vault. It was built around 1365 to house Edward III’s treasures and was known as the ‘King’s Privy Wardrobe’.
The exhibition tells about the Jewel Tower's changing role over the centuries, including the model of the 'lost' medieval palace of Westminster and replicas of precious objects and areas of set dressing including an 18th-century clerk's office.
