Tattershall Castle

Tattershall Castle was built in 1434 by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell – Henry VI’s Lord High Treasurer – on the site of an earlier 13th-century stone castle.

Buttercross

A charter to hold a weekly market was granted by King John in 1201 in return for an annual fee of a trained goshawk. Markets are no longer held but the buttercross remains at the centre of a shopping area.

Tattershall railway station

Tattershall was a station on the line between Boston and Lincoln until closure. The stationmaster’s house and ticket office are Grade II listed buildings. The former railway line has been converted into a cycle path at a cost of £2 million.

Holy Trinity Collegiate Church

The Grade I listed Holy Trinity Collegiate Church was endowed by Ralph Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell. It received its charter from Henry VI in 1439 but building was not begun until 1472. The churchyard contains a war grave of an officer of the Dorsetshire Regiment who died during the Second World War.

Tattershall College

The College was built by Ralph Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell for the education of the choristers of Holy Trinity Church. In the late 18th century it was converted to a brewery, and later left empty. The walls that remain are supported by modern brick. Heritage Lincolnshire currently manages the site, which is Grade II* listed.
