Tattershall Castle
Discover 800 years of the castle’s history from palatial dwelling to cattle shed; romantic ruin to
restoration. The brick castle was built by Ralph Cromwell, Lord Treasurer of England, between
1434-1447 as a display of his wealth, power and ambition in unstable times.
Explore six floors of this imposing building from basement to battlements, climb all 149 steps of
its spiral staircase and marvel at the views of the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside from the
roof. Make sure you view the magnificent fireplaces and follow the stained glass window
timeline.
Our audio guides are free to take and will transform your visit, sending you back to the castle’s
medieval heyday to imagine the hustle and bustle of castle life.
After you have climbed to the top return to the Guard House for a cup of tea and a wrapped
cake. You can relax in our seating area, sit in front of the fire and take a rest from all those
steps
