The Warden of Westmarch was a title and office in the Shire, responsible for the governance of the Westmarch. They were associated with the Fairbairns of the Towers. It was granted by Peregrin Took, the thirty-second Thain of the Shire, in SR 1462 at the request of Samwise Gamgee, the Mayor of Michel Delving. The Wardens dwelt at Under-towers on the slopes of the Tower Hills.
The Wardens kept the famous Red Book as an heirloom, and were all members of the Fairbairn family, of which Fastred of Greenholm (Samwise's son-in-law) was the first. As the position was hereditary, Fastred would be succeeded as Warden by his son Elfstan Fairbairn.
