Good grief, you're not supposed to take our nit picking seriously, we're just filling in time and being a pain.

The missing parts, look like typical Gothic finials, probably made from stone, and probably removed because they proved unsafe with the vibration from the traffic or draw bridge. I suspect one fell off, and the remainder were then removed for safety subsequently being replaced during restoration after being strengthened or redesigned.

British Pathe is always a good source of Information films during this period.

Here's a nice one entitled "Knights of the air"
