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.

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.
