Tattershall castle, Lincolnshire.

Tattershall Castle is situated in rural Lincolnshire. Built in 1434 by Lord Ralph Cromwell (Henry VI's treasurer), on the site of a older stone castle, which some of it can still be seen in the grounds. Tattershall castle is built from red brick which is rare for the period. It dominates the surrounding fen land and can be seen for miles around.

The castle it lucky to have survived, as it was left to decline for 200 years. However in 1911 the castle was brought by Lord Curzon, who set about restoring it to its former glory. The stunning medieval fireplaces were rescued before they were shipped off to America. The floors and windows replaced and restored. When Lord Curzon passed away in 1925 he give the castle to the National Trust.

The castle itself is quite bare inside, some of the room often have exhibits in them and Dutch tapestries have been placed in the dinning room to give visitors an idea of how it use to look. The visitors can go onto the roof and admire the beautiful views of the surrounding area. If visiting keep an eye out for some extraordinary graffiti, some of it dating back to the time of the civil war.

Boston Stump, Lincolnshire.

Boston Stump is one of the defining landmarks in Lincolnshire. The Stump is the tower which forms part of the St Botolph's church in the heart of the town of Boston. Standing at 83 metres high it is the tallest parish church in England, and up until the 19 century the highest building in the world. It was built 1309 and finished in 1510, the tower was built in 1450 and despite being built metres away from the river Haven, the foundations, which are under water, have never been renovated. It is a stunning piece of architecture, which at the time it was built seems very frivolous and extravagant when most of the residents of the town were living in poverty.

It is also a very special place to visit, a place of quiet contemplation or for the more active you can climb up the stump, though not to the top as people keep jumping off it. The views are stunning and if you look carefully you can see Lincoln cathedral, Ely cathedral, Tattershell castle and my house.

Burghley House, Stamford, Lincolnshire.

Burghley House is one of the most beautiful and impressive house in the country. Built for William Cecil (Elizabeth I treasurer) in the 16th century, Burghley house is a beautiful if some what eccentric house. The room are full of extravagant furniture and elaborate decor and paintings. The heaven and hell room and staircase are very extraordinary, though not to everyone's taste. Every room in the house is teaming with antiques and treasures from around the world. It is no wonder that Burghley is frequently used for film locations and most recent being the DeVinci Code and Pride and Prejudice.

The park and gardens were laid out by Capability Brown, who also landscaped Chatsworth and Longleat. Even if you don't visit the house, the gardens and the walks around the park are delightful at any time of the year. There is also a hands on sculpture trail around the park and the children will enjoy trying to spotting the sculptures and exploring them.

St Mary's church, Wainfleet, Lincolnshire.

St Mary's Church Wainfleet is one of my favourite places to visit. I lived near this church as a child and have always loved it. I don't know much about the church and I'm currently in the process of finding out when it was built and why is 2 miles away from the town of Wainfleet. I know that in the field North of the Church there are the earth works of what used to be the medieval village of Wainfleet. If anyone has any information please let me know.
