#Onthisday in 1367 Richard II was born 👑
In 1381 Richard fled to the Tower of London when 10,000 rebels marched on London during the Peasant's Revolt 🏰
Just 18 years later, Richard returned to the fortress as its prisoner, when he lost his crown to the future Henry IV ⛓️

Although our regular cafes are closed on a ‘Schools only Tuesday’, you can pick up a coffee from our pop up cafe brought to you by @CompanyofCooks or perhaps a herb tea, inspired by the fresh herbs in our historic Tudor kitchens?
