Layer Marney Tower, Essex, visited by the Essex Archaeological Society... 1862. Creator: Unknown
Layer Marney Tower, Essex, visited by the Essex Archaeological Society, 1862. House...erected by Sir Henry Marney, Captain of the Guard to Henry VIII. afterwards created Knight of the Garter, Lord Privy Seal, and Baron Marney; the latter in the year 1523. He died the next year, and was succeeded by his son John, who, it is remarkable, died also within twelve months of his elevation to the title of Lord Marney. With him the title ceased, and the construction of the building also, it is presumed. The property, after reverting to the Crown, passed into the possession of Sir Brian Tuke, secretary to Cardinal Wolsey. It is now the property of the Rev. S. Farman, a gentleman of great liberality, who on Thursday opened the whole of the premises to the inspection of the society and visitors, and read to them a paper on the history of the building'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Layer Marney Tower in Essex, England, stands proudly against a clear blue sky. The image, taken in 1862, captures the moment when the Essex Archaeological Society paid a visit to this historic site. Layer Marney Tower, a magnificent Tudor-era building, was erected by Sir Henry Marney in the early 16th century. Sir Henry, who served as Captain of the Guard to Henry VIII, was later created a Knight of the Garter, Lord Privy Seal, and Baron Marney in 1523. Tragically, both Sir Henry and his son John, who succeeded him, died within a year of their respective elevations, and the title of Lord Marney ceased to exist. After passing back to the Crown, the property was acquired by Sir Brian Tuke, secretary to Cardinal Wolsey. The tower is now in the possession of the Reverend S. Farman, a generous gentleman who welcomed the Essex Archaeological Society and visitors to explore the entire premises. On this particular day, the Reverend Farman read a fascinating paper on the history of the building to the assembled group. This evocative photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur and history of Layer Marney Tower. The tower's intricate brickwork, tall chimneys, and elegant windows are all on display, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in British architecture and history. The image, with its rich tapestry of stories and intrigue, invites us to imagine the lives of those who once called this magnificent building their home.
