Removal of 15th.c depiction of White Tower

I have with reluctance replaced this otherwise excellent image with a modern photo. The reason is that this is a section in an article about Norman London, and the image was painted in the 15th.c. and depicts the Tower as a fantasy Gothic structure, which is misleading to the reader. The image removed is:

The White Tower of the Tower of London. 15th.c. depiction (British Library, MS Royal, 16 folio 73)

The article is Norman and Medieval London so the image seems perfectly suitable to me and one of the earliest depictions of The White Tower.TheMathemagician (talk) 08:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Things to add

Alright, let's clean this article up and flesh it out! Here are some things I think we could add/ flesh out:

New buildings- Westminster Abbey, Westminster Hall, St. Paul's, Tower, Guildhall, etc.

Health & medicine- medieval hospitals, Black Death, Whittington's longhouse, etc.

Crime & law enforcement- execution sites, prisons, etc. Subsection for rebellions- Peasant's Revolt, Louis of France, Simon de Montfort, etc.

The bit on the William Charter is good, but needs citations

The bit on London becoming the capital is good, but needs citations

~~What was going on in outlying areas now known as London, e.g. Barking Abbey, etc.~~
Arts and literature, e.g. Chaucer, Caxton
Trade and commerce, especially the guilds
Fun stuff to do- frost fairs, mystery plays, Tower menagerie etc.
Governance- development of the City of London Corporation and the Lord Mayor, development of Parliament
Religion- Oldcastle revolt, anchorites, what Lollardism is, etc.

Note to self: standardise titles, i.e. whether you call someone the "Earl of Warwick" or "Richard Neville".
