Tattershall Castle

Tattershall Castle is an extraordinary historic site in Lincolnshire that shows evidences from the early Medieval to present. The red brick tower, together with the guardhouse, the moat walls, the stables and the kitchen ruins are grade I listed buildings. They all come from different ages and have different stories.

Tattershall Castle is embraced by a double moat that made the way to the inner ward a trail through bridges and gatehouses. Its outline has changed through centuries, it has been filled and excavated and its purpose certainly changed but has always been a fundamental part of the site.

We have scraps of information about how the castle was decorated and furnished in the form of an inventory made in 1551.

As part of our ongoing commitment to preserve and protect the properties we care for, the Castle Cottages at Tattershall Castle are due to undergo some much needed conservation works this autumn.

"A word of warning – once you start on a project like this, you start looking for graffiti in every building you visit. It is catching!" Gill, Volunteer Graffiti Hunter. Read more about the project.

Around our rare red brick castle you can discover exceptional wildlife around the castle grounds, including in both the inner and the outer moats.
