Subject: RE: BS: Lovely Day in London!
Gnu, the Yeomen were extrememly funny. But inside the church of St Peter ad Vincula, we learned that 1500 (!) decapitated bodies of execution and torture victims were found in Victorian times, just stuffed under the flagstones. The Beefeater then said, in all seriousness, that a colleague of his was checking the church at the end of the tourist day before locking up, and a shadowy figure rose up in front of the altar and drifted over to the left, disappearing through the wall! I was quite scared by this, and had a nightmare that night. We stayed behind a bit and paid our respects to Anne Boleyn and little Catherine Howard, whose bodies are still there in front of the altar. Weird and sinister!
