A recreation of Edward I's bedchamber in St Thomas' Tower

In the bedchamber there is a re-creation of Edward’s bed. The starting point for making an accurate replica came from Edward's financial accounts which recorded a payment of ‘11 shillings and a penny for timber, boards and sawn panels for a bed for the lord King and for transporting it through England’. 

The little chantry off the bedchamber is one of the most peaceful and evocative spaces in the whole of the Tower of London - See more at: http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/stories/medievalpalace#sthash.lqfQbIS4.dpuf
