Layer Marney Tower is a gem in the heart of Essex. It is Englands tallest Tudor Gatehouse and
commands views to the River Blackwater. Built in the reign of Henry VIII by Lord Marney, it is a
statement house that shows the wealth of the owner and friend of the King. Layer Marney Tower is
very close to Tiptree, off the A12 at Kelvedon.
Enjoy a private group tour by the owners of this remarkable property followed by a cream tea. The
tour can take up to two hours which may include walking to the top of the tower with its
spectacular views. It is believed that King Henry visited Layer Marney and the tour will visit the
rooms where the King stayed. Apart from the main house and Tower there is a fascinating Church
and Long Barn. The cream tea is your choice of drink with scones, jam and cream, it does not
include sandwiches.
The price is £20.90 per person to include tour and tea. The Tower require a single payment for the
group so please email antony@mac.com to request and arrange payment details. The cut-off date for payment is 5 July 2021.
We have parking arranged on the shingle drive in front of the tower for approximately 40 cars but
can accommodate more in the field. There are some small speed bumps and a cattle grid which
should not cause any issue for any Porsche.
Please arrive between 12.30pm and 1.00pm. We would like everyone parked for 1pm so we can
begin the tour promptly at 1.30pm.
Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions antony@mac.com.
