• -Hello, im Andrei and i will represent the Tower of
London

• The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's


Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of
London, is a historic castle on the north bank
of the River Thames in central London. It was
founded towards the end of 1066 as part of
the Norman Conquest
• -Hello, I am Maria and i will represent the
Westminister Abbey

• Westminster Abbey is a large and famous 


Anglican church in Westminster, London. It is
the shrine of Edward the Confessor and the
burial place of many kings and queens. Since
it was built it has been the place where the 
coronations of Kings and Queens of England
have been held.
• -Hello, Im the other Maria and i will
represent the Wndsor Castle
• Windsor Castle is a castle in 
Windsor, Berkshire, England. It is
the largest inhabited castle in the
world. Queen Elizabeth II of the 
United Kingdom lived there for 12
years.
• The White Tower, which gives the entire castle
its name, was built by William the Conqueror
 in 1078 and was a resented symbol of
oppression, inflicted upon London by the new 
Norman ruling class. The castle was also used
as a prison from 1100 until 1952  although that
was not its primary purpose. A grand palace
early in its history, it served as a royal
residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex
of several buildings set within two concentric
rings of defensive walls and a moat.
• The status of the Abbey is that of a Royal
Peculiar. This means it is place of worship that falls
directly under the jurisdiction of the British 
monarch, rather than under a bishop. The
concept dates from Anglo-Saxon times, when
a church could ally itself with the monarch and
therefore not be subject to the bishop of the
area. Technically speaking, it is not a cathedral
, though it is regarded as one in practice.
• Windsor Castle was originally built by
William the Conqueror in the decade after
the Norman conquest of 1066.[76] William
established a defensive ring of motte and
bailey castles around London; each was a
day's march – about 20 miles (32 km) –
from the City and from the next castle,
allowing for easy reinforcements in a crisis.
[76] Windsor Castle, one of this ring of
fortifications, was strategically important
because of its proximity to both the River
Thames, a key medieval route into London,
and Windsor Forest, a royal hunting
preserve previously used by the Saxon
kings.
