Tattershall Castle is a fifteenth-century fortress built by Ralph Cromwell, Lord Treasurer of England, beginning in 1430. The castle is dominated by a massive brick-built keep or tower house, a distinctive red-brick structure that stands as one of the earliest examples of large-scale brick construction in medieval England. The site also encompasses the collegiate church of the Holy Trinity, established by Cromwell in 1439 to serve the castle and its surrounding community. Both the castle keep and the church survive as substantial structures, with the keep representing an important monument to late medieval military architecture and the wealth of the English nobility.
