Synopsis
The Constable of the Tower was once one of the most powerful men in the country, controlling London from the toughest and tallest castle in town. This final programme goes behind-the-scenes to witness the intense preparations for the ceremony to install a new man in the Tower's top job, the 158th man to hold the post since William the Conqueror. Today, the role of Constable of the Tower of London is largely ceremonial, a distant echo of the time when the Tower was a national powerhouse. This is story of some of the remarkable men who have held the job in the past, from the corrupt John De Cromwell who extorted money and goods from those using the Thames to the statesmanlike Duke of Wellington who cleaned up and modernised the Tower. The programme also gets a unique glimpse inside the home of the Constable's right hand man, who still lives in the Queen's House, Tower Green, a few yards from where Ann Boleyn was executed, the princes were murdered and Elizabeth I and Guy Fawkes were imprisoned.
