Step into the most formidable prison in Britain for a scary (but fascinating) tour! The Clink Prison has a notorious past that spans 600 years - one that you will explore on this exciting adventure. Apart from drunks, vagrants, and petty thieves, some of history's most significant criminals were housed here. A famous example is John Rogers, the man who translated the Bible into English from Latin during the reign of Queen 'Bloody' Mary I.

The list also includes royalist supporters during the English Civil Wars, Puritans, and more. Learn about the actions that lead people to warrant a stint in this prison. Also, discover the way the prison meted out horrible acts of torture. You will even get to hold some torture devices once used for punishment!
