I've not otherwise come across this term, although someone said it's used in Terry Pratchett's novels. When I googled 'tanties' I just got sites featuring panties.

A lot of village lockups seem to be built in the 18th or 19th-century in a semi-medieval style, not quite like little castles, but certainly a bit like turrets from castles.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-80902044962952949582011-12-01T04:44:14.218+00:002011-12-01T04:44:14.218+00:00It appears at first glance to be medieval.
