Tattershall College
Tattershall College is the ruin of a grammar school built in the late 15th century.
It is one of a complex of buildings built by Ralph, Lord Cromwell, including Tattershall Castle, the collegiate church and the almshouses.
Why not combine a visit with an exploration of the other medieval buildings of Tattershall? Tattershall Castle is just up the road!
The building served as a grammar school for tenants of Lord Cromwell and his successors, providing a free education in a time when few had access to it.
The building was converted into a malt house as part of Tattershall brewery in the late 18th century. When the brewery closed in the early 20th century the building fell into disrepair until a public campaign was raised during the 1970s in order to save it for the nation.
Location
