Church information and history

This splendid example of 15th Century perpendicular architecture, situated next to Tattershall Castle, was built by Ralph Lord Cromwell and started in about 1440 under a charter granted by Henry IV, It was completed by about 1480 and in its heyday had seven priests, one of which was the warder, six secular clerks and six choristers. The church provided at least one chorister for Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and mother to Henry VII.

When finished the building would have been magnificent, with some of the finest stained glass in England. The remains of which can be seen in the great East Window. There are six brasses which have been moved into the North Transept, for safe keeping. You can also see Tom Thumb's grave, which is by the font
