Tattershall Castle

Tattershall Castle is located in Tattershall in Lincolnshire, England. Robert de Tattershall built the medieval stone tower in 1231. The castle boasted a great hall, kitchens, gatehouse, chapel, and a curtain wall surrounded by a moat. The castle passed to the third Baron of Cromwell in the early 15thcentury. Lord Cromwell refurbished the estate while adding the great tower, the stables, the kitchens, and the guardhouse. Lord Cromwell enlarged the inner moat and an outer moat was created. The stables are housed between the outer moat and inner moat. With Cromwell’s death, the castle passed to the Crown who continued to grant the property to loyal and familial subjects. Charles Brandon was given the castle by King Henry VIII to thank him for assisting in stopping the Lincolnshire Rising. Brandon had the castle transformed into a Tudor palace and installed a tiltyard to practice jousting. The castle was later inherited by the Earls of Lincoln and remained in their possession for 120 years. In 1643, the castle was damaged during the Civil War, which left only the Great Tower intact. The Earl of Lincoln died in 1693, and the castle was left derelict. In 1911, Lord Curzon of Kedleston purchased the castle. Lord Curzon restored the castle, even going so far to repurchase the gothic fireplaces that had been removed. After his passing in 1925, the castle was left to the National Trust. The castle houses one of the world’s largest art and heritage collections, which includes over one million historic pieces including paintings, gothic fireplaces, and tapestries. Tattershall Castle is open to the public. There is a shop offering refreshments inside the old guardhouse.

Happy Holidays to all. I caught an early morning train headed to the Embankment Pier in hope to catch the sunrise. However, on my way there I was waylaid by the awesome twinkly lights and colors along the river. ⠀ ⠀ Please like, comment, but follow me on Instagram if you like to see more images such as this🤗! #lovemylife #ilovelondon #mylondon #visitlondon #londontourist #lp #eveningstandard #nytimes #londoneye #reflections #christmastime #christmastree #tattershallcastle #westminsterbridge #housesofparliment #awesome #festive #riverthames

Until next time, London. We saw some new places in Scotland and some old favorites like Edinburgh, Paris, and London. This was taken from my favorite bar in London on the river Thames #ukroadtrip #eurotrip2017 #londonsights #londoneye #tattershallcastle #travelblogger #traveler #ravenstrip #travel http://ift.tt/2xPfFKI
