Parr, Marmion, FitzHugh

Parr : Argent two bars azure, a border engrailed sable

Marmon : Vair argent and azure, a fess gules.

According to Leland, Tanfield, or Great Tanfield was where there was a "castle on a banke longging to the Lorde Parre, and stondith on the Ure. Tanfelde Castle longgid to the Lord Marmion, and so came to the Fitzhugh." The castle of Tanfield, or rather, as it is now a mean manor place standeth hard on the rip if the Ure where I saw no notable building, but a fair towered gatehouse and a hall of squared stone. One Claregenet, baily or surveyor at Tanfield hath an ancient book of the Earls of Richmond and the Marmions.

The motte which lies in the certre of the town, called Peel Hill, is presently 22ft high with a summit 55ft in diameter, and a surrounding ditch. There exist no signs of there ever having been a bailey. The castle was probably built by William de Warenne as a hunting lodge for Hatfield Chase. There are fragments of masonry and the foundations of a stone built keep on the summit.
