TATTERSHALL CASTLE,  

PALACE AND FORT COMBINED  

'T'OWERING above the Lincolnshire  

fenlands, near Woodhall Spa, are the  

massive walls of Tattershali Castle, one  

of the best examples of fortified dwell-  

ing in Britain. It was built in 1440 by  

Baron Cromwell, Lord High Treasurer  

to Henry VI (1422-1461), and replaced  

an earlier thirteenth-century fortress of  

which the outer moat, some earthworks  

and foundations still remain.  

Baron Cwomwell added an outer ward  

to the old enclosure and transformed the  

original castle into palace, the chief  

feature of which is the great quadrangular  

tower, 110 feet high. Its four stories are  

surmounted by battlements built of  

Ancaster stone. The walls themselves are  

built of small red bricks, with patterns in  

blue-black brick, and are, in places, six-  

teen feet thick. Nowhere else in Britain  

can finer example of medieval brick-  

work be seen to better advantage.  

Each of the four floors within the castle  

has large central room from which  

open out smaller chambers. particu-  

larly noteworthy feature of each of the  

big rooms is the possession of elaborate  

heraldic chimney-pieces, which were ad-  

mired by an American millionaire in  

1911, and were only saved from being  

shipped across the Atlantic by the pat-  

riotic action of the Marquess Curzon,  

who bought the castle and adjacent  

grounds and presented it to the nation.  

The castle was damaged during the  

Civil War, and in this century by light-  

ning, but restoration was completed in  

1914, and this great fortress is now open  

to the public. The Guard House serves  

as museum in which may be seen  

wide range of pottery and other objects  

of interest which have been found in the  

vicinity of Tattershali Castle,
