The Marmion Tower and St Nicholas Church West Tanfield North Yorkshire
West Tanfield is a village in North Yorkshire, England. Situated about 6 miles north of Ripon on the A6108, which goes from Ripon into Wensleydale, West Tanfield is on the edge of both the Yorkshire Dales and the Vale of York. It is well known as one of the most picturesque villages in Yorkshire, the view from the bridge over the River Ure is popular amongst tourists, photographers and artists. The village has a monument called the Marmion Tower, a 15th century gatehouse which belonged to the now vanished manor house formerly home to the Marmion family. At first floor level there is a fine example of an oriel window. The Anglican church next to the tower contains monuments to the Marmion family. The tower is now in the care of English Heritage.
