EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Peter on Tower Green: A Historical Depiction of the Patron Saint of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London This evocative engraving, dating from circa 1840, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of St. Peter ad Vincula, the parish church of the Tower of London. Situated within the Inner Ward of this historic fortress, the Chapel Royal of St. Peter in Chains has stood for several centuries, with the current building dating back to 1520. The image portrays St. Peter, the patron saint of the church, standing resolutely on the banks of the River Thames at Tower Green. The serene waters reflect the towering walls of the Tower of London, providing a striking backdrop to the saint's figure. St. Peter, who is traditionally depicted with keys, symbolizing the keys to the gates of heaven, is shown here in his ecclesiastical robes, his expression calm and contemplative. The Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula holds a significant place in English history. It is where many of the monarchs of England, including Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey, and Lady Jane Grey's husband, Guildford Dudley, were tried, imprisoned, and in some cases, executed. The church's name, St. Peter in Chains, is a reference to St. Peter's traditionally being the patron saint of prisoners. This engraving, with its intricate details and evocative setting, offers a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to explore the history and significance of St. Peter ad Vincula and the Tower of London.
