*************

Tattershall is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, 1 mile (1.6 km) east from the point where that road crosses the River Witham. At its eastern end, Tattershall adjoins the village of Coningsby, with the two being separated by the River Bain and is and 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east from the hamlet Tattershall Thorpe.

Tattershall has a unique history dating back to Roman times. Robert Eudo, in 1201, by means of a present of a well-trained goshawk, obtained from Richard II of England a grant to hold a weekly market here; and his son Robert obtained from Henry III of England a license to build a castle here, together with a grant of free-warren in all his Demesne lands.[1] Tattershall was a settlement in Domesday Book, in the hundred of Horncastle and the county of Lincolnshire. [2]

The 2011 census recorded a Tattershall civil parish population as 2,834, with the combined Tattershall and Coningsby area having a population of 6,698.

Holy Trinity Collegiate Church

Holy Trinity Church

Adjacent to the castle is the Grade I listed Perpendicular-style Holy Trinity Collegiate Church, endowed by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, but built after his death.[14] It received its charter from Henry VI in 1439 but building was not begun until 1472, reaching completion around 1500. The church has medieval stained glass, a collection of brasses and an intact rood loft. It was restored between 1893 and 1897.[14]

Near the font is a plaque marking the grave of the Tattershall resident Tom Thumb, reputedly 18.5 inches (47 cm) tall, who died in 1620 aged 101. Tom Thumb's small house can be seen on the roof of a larger house in the Market Place.[15]

The churchyard contains a war grave of an officer of the Dorsetshire Regiment who died during the Second World War.[16] Ralph de Cromwell, founder of the church, also is buried here.
