The top turret at Monk Bar resembles some of the teeth in England, a place infamous for the poor dental care of its populace. Note the archer's slot.
Monk Bar now contains a museum run by the Richard III society whose mission seems to be rewriting history around this infamous king. (Or was he defamed by that Shakespeare guy trying to curry favor with the Tudor Elizabeth I? After all, the victors write the history, sometimes quite dramatically.)
