TATTERSHALL CASTLE |
|
A vast fortified tower built
c 1440 for Ralph Cromwell, Lord Treasurer of England. The
castle is an important example of an early brick building,
with a tower containing state apartments, rescued from
dereliction and restored by Lord Curzon 1911-14. Four great
chambers, with ancillary rooms, contain late Gothic
fireplaces and brick vaulting. There are tapestries and
information displays in turret rooms. Lincoln Cathedral and
Boston Stump are visible from the battlements on clear
days. | |
