Function in Play

  • Anne Bowesley’s domain since the Cromwell era — over 300 years.
  • She built Parliament into England’s ruling institution and controls it as her personal instrument.
  • Her haven is beneath St. Stephen’s Tower (Big Ben).
  • The mortal world sees the Mother of Parliaments; Kindred know it as Anne’s fortress.
  • In 1969, Anne’s mortal pawn is climbing the political ladder that will lead to 10 Downing Street in 1979.

Physical Read

  • The Palace of Westminster needs no description. What matters is what’s underneath: reinforced chambers beneath Big Ben, accessible through maintenance tunnels, where Anne maintains a spartan but impregnable haven.
  • The sound of the great bell marks every hour of her eternal rule.
