The City of London was divided into wards for the purpose of government as early as Norman times. The wards had responsibility to keep the peace, supervise trade and oversee sanitation, and each ward has the right to elect an Alderman and Commoners to sit in the Court of Common Council.

Tower Ward is situated with Aldgate Ward at the eastern most side of the City. The ward contained three City parish churches: All Hallows Barking, St Olave Hart Street and St Dunstan in the East.

The archives of the ward have been deposited with the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of Tower Ward, Corporation of London. The records comprise minutes and accounts, rate assessments, wardmote papers and other administrative and legal papers, and papers of the benevolent fund. The records were catalogued by members of Guildhall Library staff at various dates.

The records have been sorted into an order which reflects divisions between the different functions and operations of the organisation and its administration.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information are subject to access restrictions under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998.

Copyright to this collection rests with the City of London.
