Graffiti in the Tower of London

Short clip on the graffiti in the Tower of London and attempts to make the engravings accessible to the public.
Despite the popular tale that the inscription 'Jane' refers to Jane Grey, this may be incorrect. The name may refer to John Dudley's wife, and Guildford Dudley's mother, Jane. The idea that Guildford wrote this for his wife was mentioned by Agnes Strickland, a nineteenth-century historian, who did not supply the source of her information. If by Guildford, then it could have been for his mother, who he was apparently close to.

Excellent little video, this Laser technique is very effective in reproducing the graffiti,though it must expensive to implement, money shouldn't come into it, when preserving the Nations Heritage however, given the vast amounts of dosh wasted on other pointless projects

@ToRiHale Thomas Pooper met his fate in the bowels of the Tower.

That laser duplication is incredible.
Not that their hearts weren't in the right place, but 'spare no expense' is the first and only thing that would come to my mind when tampering with centuries-old remembrances of the tortured and executed. Even that resin specialist looked dubious about the whole affair, bless his heart. Don't get a house painter to restore the Botticelli. Not that he isn't a professional, but he so clearly wasn't the man for this particular job--on national television :(

I know, as if he didn't have enough to endure, poor soul.
