About
Designed by S.S. Teulon and completed in 1866, the monument stands on Nibley Knoll above North Nibley, looking west across the Severn to the Welsh hills. It commemorates William Tyndale, who was born in this parish around 1494 and was the first to translate the New Testament from Greek into English.
A spiral stair of 121 steps climbs to the open viewing platform — open only on weekend afternoons in summer, weather permitting. The walk up to the monument from the village adds a stiff half-hour to any visit.

- The viewing platform is only open at weekends in summer — check the parish website before climbing.
