The '''Tenantry Column''' is a monument to the south of [[Alnwick]] town centre, in [[Northumberland]], England.  It was erected in 1816 by the tenants of [[Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland]] in thanks for his reduction of their rents during the [[post-Napoleonic depression]].  It is a Doric column standing {{convert|83|ft}} tall and surmounted by a lion [[Attitude (heraldry)#Passant|en passant]], the symbol of the Percy family.  Four more lions stand on a platform at the base of the column.  A muster roll of the [[Percy Tenantry Volunteers]] was sealed into the foundation.  The structure was granted protection as a [[listed building]] in 1952 and since 1977 has been listed in the highest category, grade I.
