Guided Tour for Groups, Clubs and Associations

The best way to enjoy the history of Layer Marney Tower is to come on a Guided Tour. The 500 year old Gatehouse has been the private home for 11 different families, each with a story to tell. The tour will take you into the private side of the house as well as the church and the Gatehouse.
