Tattershall: Castle Tattershall: Castle National Trust

Description


Whilst it's a relatively small castle, Tattershall plays an important part in the history of the preservation of buildings in the UK. It was the stripping and sale (and eventual recover) of the remains on the castle at the start of the 20th century that lead to the creation of legislation to protect Ancient Monuments. The castle itself is a 20th century restoration of the 15th century rebuild of a 13th century castle. Only the central tower, living and audience accommodation survived the post Civil War slighting of fortified buildings, but today the space has been restored to how it would have looked during its heyday in the 15th century. Each floor is intact and you can climb all the way to the roof and battlements at the very top of the building
