Tattershall Castle, Lincolnshire
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. Today the Castle is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public.

Tattershall is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Tattershall is situated on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, 1 mile east from the point where that road crosses the River Witham.
At its eastern end, Tattershall adjoins the village of Coningsby, with the two being separated by the River Bain. In the same parish is the hamlet of Tattershall Thorpe. Local public houses are the Black Horse on the High Street and the Fortescue Arms in the Market Place. The Fortesque Arms dates from the 15th century and is a Grade II listed building. Barnes Wallis Academy (built 1954) is a secondary modern school on Butts Lane for pupils aged from 11 to 16. The school also serves Coningsby and Woodhall Spa.
The remaining wreckage of the Boeing jumbo jet that was blown-up on 21 December 1988 over Lockerbie in Scotland is stored at a scrapyard near Tattershall. The remains include the plane's nose and cockpit. Tattershall Carrs forms the last remaining remnants of ancient wet woodland, dominated by alder that once ringed the margins of the Fens.
Village historic sites include the church of the Holy Trinity, a buttercross, Tattershall Castle, Collegiate College, and Tom Thumb's house and grave. 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, of which some remains are extant, particularly the Grand Tower and moat.
An octagonal 15th-century buttercross stands in the Market Place. It is both a Grade I listed structure and an ancient scheduled monument. A charter to hold a weekly market was granted by King John in 1201 in return for an annual fee of a trained goshawk.
Tattershall railway station was a station on the line between Boston and Lincoln until closure. The Old Station House, a stationmasters house and ticket office, is a Grade II listed building. Adjacent to the castle is the Grade I listed Perpendicular-style Holy Trinity Collegiate Church, endowed by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, but built after his death.
Adjacent to the Market Place are the remains of Tattershall College which was built by Lord Cromwell for the education of the choristers of Holy Trinity Church. The College was an example of perpendicular style of Gothic architecture. In the late 18th century it was converted to a brewery, and later left empty – today it is a ruin. The walls that remain are supported by modern brick. Heritage Lincolnshire currently manages the site, which is Grade II* listed, and an ancient scheduled monument.

Tattershall Castle
Tattershall Castle is a 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. First went there as a young boy & have been back numerous times. Guitar playing is mine.

In 1934 William Gray & Company of West Hartlepool, built the Tattershall Castle for the London and North Eastern Railway Company (LNER), which was later amalgamated into British Rail. Built specifically for use as a passenger ferry on the River Humber, operating between Hull and New Holland, she was launched on 24th September 1934 by Miss Pamela Wilson, daughter of Sir Murrough Wilson, Chairman of LNER. The Tattershall Castle was licensed to carry 1050 passengers, as well as provision to carry a limited amount of vehicles, livestock and cargo. At a length of 209ft (63.3m) and a gross tonnage of 556 tonnes, she was powered by a triple expansion diagonal reciprocating steam engine, and would normally do the four mile journey eight times a day.
She was one of three sister ships – the Tattershall Castle, the Wingfield Castle and the later Lincoln Castle – all working the New Holland route. The Wingfield Castle is now berthed in Hartlepool, and the Lincoln Castle was scrapped in 2010 in the Alexandra Dock Grimsby.
Tattershall Castle was purchased by the ‘Chef & Brewer’ group, who immediately sent her down to the River Medway for major repair work on her hull. In 1975 she opened as the capitals first floating art gallery launched by the Mayor of London.
Falling profits as an art gallery see her sold by the Chef & Brewer group and she opened for business as a bar and restaurant on 8th August 1982.
In 2003 she was towed to George Prior Engineering yard in Great Yarmouth for an extensive overhaul which saw large viewing windows cut in her port side forward lounge and both paddle wheels removed which created more space for customers. Fortunately her triple expansion steam engines still remain onboard and can be viewed via large viewing windows.
Another change of ownership in 2005 sees the Tattershall Castle firmly established as a floating bar /diner at the Victoria embankment.
In 2015 the Tattershall Castle returns to Hull under new ownership for an overhaul costing in excess of £1.5 million. She is given a new colour scheme and her interiors refurbished to a high standard.
In 2017 Tattershall Castle, was moved in order to make way for the Tideway Super Sewer clean-up of the River Thames at a cost of £1 million.
Out of the three Humber Paddle Steamers undoubtedly Tattershall Castle has had the most successful second career since her sailing days ended.
