More about this scene

Tattershall was extensively rebuilt by Ralph Cromwell, a veteran of Agincourt, and Lord Chancellor of England. Built entirely of brick, an early use of the material on such a large scale, with windows and dressings of Ancaster limestone, little survives of Tattershall save for its magnificent five-storeyed tower keep. On the top of the keep is a double fighting platform; Ralph had copied the very latest French practice by building machicolated parapets. Tattershall was rescued from becoming derelict by Lord Curzon, who refurbished it between 1911 and 1914.

My Grandfather
I was told by my mother that my grandparents moved to Tattershall in 1912 from Buckinghamshire so my grandfather could find work helping to restore the castle he was a carpenter. His name was William Bywater, known as Roger, they lived in the village for many years.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
