Layer Marney Tower

LAYER MARNEY, Colchester, CO5 9US

Write a review

The tallest Tudor gatehouse in the country, intended to be the entrance to a courtyard which would have rivalled Hampton Court Palace. The death of Henry, 1st Lord Marney in 1523, and of his son in 1525, meant that the building work ceased before completion. A beautiful parish church lies within the grounds. Visit the medieval barn and playground. Special events throughout the year, please see website.
