Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to undertake an Historic England Level 2 built heritage recording within the Lanthorn Tower, Tower of London, London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The Tower of London is a Scheduled Monument, a World Heritage Site and lies within a Conservation Area. The Grade I listed Lanthorn Tower is described as: 'Lanthorn Tower: rebuilt 1883, with lancets and 2-light windows.' Renovation work involved the replacement of an existing timber flight of stairs with a new timber flight of stairs. The objective was to record any evidence for the former 19th century flight of stairs that might be revealed during the work. The recording was carried out in February 2017 as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent. The recorded stairs provide access from the wall walk through the west door down into the mezzanine floor and form part of the visitor route. The renovation work revealed that the upper five steps were constructed of York Stone and were original to John Taylor's rebuilding of the tower in 1883. The removal of the timber treads and risers of the lower three steps revealed a modern softwood sub-structure and that the adjacent internal partition wall was also a modern addition. The original 19th century lower steps had been removed to enable the construction of the replacement modern steps. The only evidence of the 19th century work was a small cast-iron ventilator and a moulded plaster skirting in the wall below the York Stone steps.
