Tattershall College

This building was built by the 3rd Baron Cromwell for the education of the church choristers and was once a splendid example of the perpendicular style of Gothic architecture.

[1] In the 1530s, due to benefactions of fellows, the ex-choristers were given precedence to apply for scholarships at St John's College, Cambridge.

[2] Although the school was formally dissolved in 1545, when it was owned by Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk.

A timber almshouse attached to the college was built by a carpenter Henry Halsebroke for the warden John Gigur in 1486.

[3] In the late 18th century, it was converted into a brewery before being left empty and allowed to deteriorate into the ruin that it now is with those walls that remain standing shored up by modern brick.
