Liberties of the Tower of London
The Liberties of the Tower, or the Tower Liberty, was a liberty around and including the Tower of London. It was outside the jurisdiction of the City of London and the County of Middlesex, with its own county government. The area of the liberty expanded in 1686. It became part of the County of London in 1889 and was dissolved in 1894.
==History==
The liberty originally consisted of the area inside the walls of the Tower of London (also known as Tower Within) and immediately outside it (known as Old Tower Without). The limits were set out in the sixteenth century.〔(''A Dictionary of London'' (1918) )〕
In 1686 letters patent granted by James II added the Old Artillery Ground, Little Minories and the Liberty of Wellclose. These areas came into the possession of the crown when the religious houses that formerly administered them were dissolved. They had subsequently been used for the storing of ordnance.
The population was 3,995 in 1811 and 4,190 in 1831.〔Accounts and Papers, Eighteen Volumes, 17, Relating to Assessed Taxes, Poor, &c, Vol. XLIV , (1832)〕
