TheTower Ditch, or Tower
Moat, was part of the Tower of London’s
medieval defences. It was built by the Bishop of Ely while King Richard
I was crusading in the Holy Land (1187-1192) (Harben).
The ditch was used as a dumping ground for plague victim corpses, human waste
from the Tower, and meat carcasses from East Smithfield market.
On the Agas map, the ditch surrounds the Tower of
London.
