Tyndale Monument, Stone memorial tower in North Nibley, England.
The Tyndale Monument is a stone tower rising from Nibley Knoll with a square base and a spiral staircase ascending its interior. The structure narrows toward the top, where a viewing gallery offers views of the surrounding countryside.
Built in 1866, the structure honors William Tyndale, a scholar who translated biblical texts into English during the Reformation. His execution for heresy in the 1530s made him a symbol of religious reform.
The sculpture galleries inside depict moments from Tyndale's life and the religious upheaval of his time. Visitors can examine these carved scenes as they climb, learning about the man through stone carvings.
The tower is accessible via bridleways branching from the B4060 road near the village. Electric lighting on the stairs makes the climb safer, though visitors should wear sturdy shoes for the uneven stone steps.
A gold enamel cross crowns the summit and catches sunlight, making it noticeable from considerable distances. This reflective detail becomes particularly visible on clear days when light conditions are favorable.
