Tyndale Monument, Stone memorial tower in North Nibley, England.

The Tyndale Monument rises 111 feet above Nibley Knoll, featuring a square base of 26 feet and a spiral staircase of 121 steps.

The tower, completed in 1866, honors William Tyndale, who translated the New Testament into English before his execution for heresy in 1536.

The monument includes detailed sculpture pieces depicting significant events from Tyndale's life and the English Reformation throughout its gallery levels.

Visitors reach the monument through bridleways from the B4060 road, with automatic lighting inside the stairway facilitating safe climbing to the top.

A gold enamel mosaic cross at the summit of the tower reflects sunlight, making it visible from Bristol, located over 20 miles away.
