Tenantry Column, Memorial column in Alnwick, England.
The Tenantry Column rises 83 feet high, featuring a Doric design with a lion statue at the top and four additional lions at its base.
The structure was built in 1816 by tenants of Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland, as recognition for reducing their rents during economic hardship.
The column displays the Percy family motto 'Esperance en Dieu' and contains a sealed glass tube with the Percy Tenantry Volunteers regimental roll.
Located on South Road, the monument stands as a clear landmark for visitors arriving to Alnwick by train from the western approach.
The Percy Lion statue atop the column points toward Scotland, though the specific reason for this directional placement remains unknown.
