The Relief Commander presides over the exchange of orders from the Retiring & Relieving Tomb Guard Sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknowns during the Changing of the Guard ceremony;
Tomb Sentinels are members of the prestigious Tomb Guard Platoon, Echo Company (Honor Guard), 3rd United States Infantry Regiment. They are all volunteers and go through rigorous training and study.
The regiment assumed the post in 1948 and guard the tomb continuously for 24-hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year. The guard is changed every hour in the winter months and every half hour during the summer.
The tomb guards wear Vintage Army Blue Dress Uniforms and carry M-14 rifles, which are always held between the crowd as a gesture to deter intrusion. The active sentinel walks exactly 21 steps, pausing for 21 seconds while facing the tomb, turns around and retraces steps.

Orders were done the Taiwanese way - you specify the number of portions you want of each item, then bring the menu to the cashier and pay up. Since we were the only customers I basically told the cashier what we wanted.

Mount Grace Priory was a Carthusian monastery founded in 1398. Carthusian monasteries differed from other monastic orders where monks lived communally. In Carthusian monasteries monks lived as hermits each in his in self-contained cells. Each cell had two floors and an outside garden for growing herbs. Access to each cell was from a door leading from the cloisters. The cell provided living and working space for the monk, and its own chapel as the monks said their daily offices and Mass alone most days. Monks would only encounter one another in the priory church for daily Matins and Vespers, and less frequently Mass. Consequently, the Carthusian priory churches were much smaller than the abbey churches at other orders such as Fountains Abbey.
Similarly, the monks only ate together in the refectory on Sundays, feast days or when there was a funeral of a brother. At other times the lay brothers brought food to the monks’ cells, passing it to the monk through a hatch by the cell door.
At the time of King Henry VIII’s suppression of the monasteries, Mount Grace was one of the wealthiest with an annual income of £313 in 1535, similar to that of Rievaulx Abbey. Mount Grace was finally supressed in December 1539.
After its closure, many of the monastic buildings were dismantled but the priory’s guest house was converted into a country house. At the end of the 19th century it was acquired by the industrialist Sir Lowthan Bell. He renovated and extended the house in the Arts and Crafts style and made repairs to the priory buildings. Sir Lowthan also reconstructed monk’s cell No. 8 on the north side of the Great Cloister. The estate was given to the treasury in lieu of death duties in 1944 and given to the National Trust. It was subsequently placed into the guardianship of the State (and now English Heritage) by the National Trust in 1955. Restoration of the house began in 1987, and the house opened to the public in 2010.
The gardens at the front of the house were renovated over the winter of 2017-18 by Chris Beardshaw to reflect the Arts and Crafts heritage of the house.
