Collegiate Church of Holy Trinity, Tattershall, Lincolnshire
A visit to Tattershall Castle A close up view of the Collegiate Church of Holy Trinity as seen from the roof of Tattershall Castle.
Holy Trinity Church, Tattershall There was a Norman chapel at Tattershall, but no trace of this remains. The present building was begun in c. 1465 under the provisions of the will of Ralph Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, who owned Tattershall Castle, and was intended to serve a college of priests founded at Tattershall by Cromwell in 1440. The college was dissolved in 1545 as part of the English Reformation. In 1754 or 1757 most of the medieval stained glass in the church was removed and sold, being installed primarily in Burghley House and St Martin's Church, Stamford; the remaining glass at Tattershall has been re-assembled in the east window.
The church is known for its architecture, being described as "Lincolnshire's grandest Perpendicular church". More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church,_Tattershall
