History rewritten: Archaeologist discovers Tattershall Castle older than we thought NTTattershall
A series of stunning discoveries have been made at Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, which shine a light on many aspects of the castle’s history, including its age.
However, the results of scientific tree ring dating were closely inspected based on Tattershall’s remaining original medieval woodwork, including floor beams. It has revealed the castle to be at least 15 years older than previously thought, being constructed between c.1431-51.View of battlements and roof, with corner turrets that contained medieval banqueting suites for high status guests.
Crucially, however, it shows that Tattershall influenced buildings such as Eton College that was built for royalty, rather than being influenced by it. Its pioneering design went on to inspire an entire style of English architecture which later included Oxburgh Hall and Hampton Court Palace. An area that was previously thought to be a ’tiltyard’, or area for jousting, has now been discovered to be a formal garden, with an area which has been measured to be exactly 2 acres in size, the common medieval ideal and the size of garden at similar sites.
