Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan
Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan Published by Historic Royal Palaces © Historic Royal Palaces 2007 Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace Surrey KT8 9AU June 2007 Foreword By David Lammy MP Minister for Culture I am delighted to support this Management Plan for the Tower of London World Heritage Site. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and Britain’s most visited heritage site. It was built to protect and control the city and the White Tower survives largely intact from the Norman period. Architecture of almost all styles that have since flourished in England may be found within the walls. The Tower has been a fortress, a palace and a prison, and has housed the Royal Mint, the Public Records and the Royal Observatory. It was for centuries the arsenal for small arms, the predecessor of the present Royal Armouries, and has from early times guarded the Crown Jewels. Today the Tower is the key to British history for visitors who come every year from all over the world to relive the past and to enjoy the pageantry of the present. It is deservedly a World Heritage Site. The Government is accountable to UNESCO and the wider international community for the future conservation and presentation of the Tower. It is a responsibility we take seriously. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an agreed framework for long-term decision-making on the conservation and improvement of the Tower and sustaining its outstanding universal value. -

GOOD PRACTICE REPORT INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE IN ACTION INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE IN ACTION WHO is reporting? Margaret Gibson, interreligious coordinator From WHERE? Diocese of Plymouth WHAT did they do? A Q&A with women from three different religions HOW can they be contacted? [email protected] Gather 2011 Some 130 teachers, catechists, and youth workers from the diocese of Plymouth gathered this January in Torquay for a series of workshops on the theme of “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light,” Isaiah. One of these workshops was led by myself together with Robin Kanarek and Rose- mary Khreisheh from, respectively, the Exeter Synagogue and Mosque. We all three are members of the Exeter Interfaith and Belief group, where we have become great friends. It was our intention to share our dialogue of life with others, setting the scene with music from that well known American television programme “Friends,” and a makeshift sofa! David Wells, Director of the Diocesan Depart- ment for Formation prompted us with some searching questions. How difficult is it to be a practising Christian, Jew or Muslim in the Britain of today? How do we pass on our faith to our children? In what way are our faiths different? This was followed by questions from the floor. The result was an ener- getic session which was very positively received. It later led to a great take up of the Bishops’ Confer- ence document “Meeting God in Friend and Stranger” which I made sure was readily available. Following this success, we have been invited to take part in a “Summer Festival of Theology” at Buck- fast Abbey, Devon in July 2012.
