The Tower of London holds an incredible collection of historic graffiti, from the prisoners of the Tudor dynasty, right through to the 20th century. But there is still so much that we don\\u2019t know about who made the graffiti and why.\\xa0

In this episode, we follow Postdoctoral Research Associate Jamie Inghram into the Salt Tower, a legendary prisoner tower in the precinct of the Tower of London. The Salt Tower is rich with graffiti including some examples that have never been investigated before. Jamie talks us through the very early stages of a new research project that is hoping to reveal the secrets of this history.\\xa0

This episode is part of a series where we\\u2019re exploring fresh research that is taking place in our Palaces. We won\\u2019t be releasing this sequentially, so these episodes will appear throughout the year.
