The Old Rectory, adjacent to both the Marmion Tower and the church. Badly damaged by fire on 31st May, 2022. Seen from the tower. West Tanfield is a village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, some 5½ miles northwest of Ripon. The village is sited on the north bank of the Rive Ure, astride the A6108 road from Ripon to Leyburn. The village name comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'tana feld', which mean "open land where young shoots grow" and is referred to in the Domesday Book. West Tanfield is home to the Marmion Tower, a 15th century gatehouse to the demolished manor house.
