Magnificent 15th century red brick castle - what wealth and power looks like
Come pick up perfect presents and delicious treats produced by Lincolnshire crafts people from our annual Christmas market. Why not get in the festive spirit with our Candlelit Carol Concert and Christmas at the Castle events.
Rising proudly from the flat Lincolnshire fens, Tattershall Castle, with its huge Gothic fireplaces and church-like windows, was designed to impress. Built by Lord Ralph Cromwell, Treasurer of England, it was designed to show off his wealth, position and power.
The Great Tower is one of the earliest and finest surviving examples of English medieval brickwork and was saved from exportation to America by Lord Curzon of Kedleston in 1911. Take the winding staircase, wander through vast echoing chambers and walk out onto the battlements revealing the beauty of the Lincolnshire countryside.
