Selfie with Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester (brother of King Stephen) at the Clink Museum in Southwark. He built the 12thC palace of the bishops of Winchester in which the prison would be situated. I’m not totally convinced that Henry would be happy with this likeness #clinkprison #clinkmuseum

A surviving wall of the Clink Prison in Southwark, which was burned down by Gordon rioters in 1780. The original prison had been in since the , with several high profile religious prisoners there in the 16thC. There is now a museum on the site #clinkprison #theclink

I’m trying to visit all the more obscure London museums (let me know if you can think of any I’ve missed!). I finally made it to the Clink Prison Museum, on site of Clink Prison Southwark (in use 13thC-1780). Creepy, but gives reasonable sense of how horrific imprisonment was #clinkprison #theclink
