Were witches held in the Tower of London?
No, as a matter of history, the tower was used for prisoners of status. Most prisoners held at the tower were nobles. Religious heretics,mostly high ranking Catholics who would not swear to the Act of Supremacy. Convicted Heretics were burned alive in Smith field northwest of the tower. But only those of rank were actually imprisoned in the tower. The rest were locked away in Newgate prison. It was beneath the dignity of the tower to serve as merely a lock up for commoners.
