The royal palace and fortress of the Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror shortly after 1066, is one of the world's most famous and spectacular castles. Known for housing the Crown Jewels, its Yeoman Warders ('Beefeaters') and its ravens, the Tower is today the most visited historic site in Britain.

The White Tower, the oldest of all the Tower's buildings, was originally built as a royal palace and fortress, but has also served as a prison, a royal chapel, a record office and a large storehouse for arms, armour and gunpowder.

This set is suitable for use with a board with a square size of 2 inches and the king height is 5 and 1/2 inches.

The White Tower chess set is available in ebony and ivory tones or hand painted in colour, as shown.
