Tattershall CollegeTattershall College is the late 15th century ruin of the grammar school built by Ralph Cromwell for choristers of his collegiate church. Cromwell, who also built the nearby Tattershall Castle, and rebuilt Holy Trinity church. The remains are quite scanty, giving just a taste of the late medieval architectural style of the time. It is perhaps more interesting as an early example of the use of red brick, just as at Tattershall Castle. It is worth remembering that when it first became popular in Britain during the late 15th century, red brick was a material used only for the very finest buildings In the 18th century the college served as a brewery. It is now managed by Lincolnshire Heritage Trust in cooperation with English heritage. Location map for Tattershall College
