Wednesday, June 6 we started our day off by going to a car boot sale in Skegness. It wasn't a very nice day as these photo might suggest!
Afterwards we headed off to Tattershall Castle which is maintained by the National Trust. It was built by Lord Ralph Cromwell in 1440 and centuries later was abandoned and had fallen into disrepair. A successful campaign by Lord Curzon in 1911 ensured its restoration. He bought the castle, oversaw the restoration and when he died, it was turned over to the National Trust. We walked up 150 steps which lead from one level to the next each containing great halls with massive carved fireplaces until we eventually reached the rooftop (which is where Andy took this photo of the church).
