I have with reluctance replaced this otherwise excellent image with a modern photo. The reason is that this is a section in an article about Norman London, and the image was painted in the 15th.c. and depicts the Tower as a fantasy Gothic structure, which is misleading to the reader. The image removed is:

The article is Norman and Medieval London so the image seems perfectly suitable to me and one of the earliest depictions of The White Tower. TheMathemagician ( talk) 08:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Alright, let's clean this article up and flesh it out! Here are some things I think we could add/ flesh out:

• New buildings- Westminster Abbey, Westminster Hall, St. Paul's, Tower, Guildhall, etc.
• Health & medicine- medieval hospitals, Black Death, Whittington's longhouse, etc.
• Crime & law enforcement- execution sites, prisons, etc. Subsection for rebellions- Peasant's Revolt, Louis of France, Simon de Montfort, etc.
• The bit on the William Charter is good, but needs citations
• The bit on London becoming the capital is good, but needs citations
• What was going on in outlying areas now known as London, e.g. Barking Abbey, etc.
• Arts and literature, e.g. Chaucer, Caxton
• Trade and commerce, especially the guilds
• Fun stuff to do- frost fairs, mystery plays, Tower menagerie etc.
• Governance- development of the City of London Corporation and the Lord Mayor, development of Parliament
• Religion- Oldcastle revolt, anchorites, what Lollardism is, etc.

Note to self: standardise titles, i.e. whether you call someone the "Earl of Warwick" or "Richard Neville".

Alright, let's go! JRennocks ( talk) 14:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply
