Over the late May bank holiday weekend Buckingham's Retinue were at Tattershall castle, a beautiful 15th century brick castle in the heart of Lincolnshire and home of Lord Ralph Cromwell, an important politician in the government of King Henry VI.

The castle

Despite somewhat inclement weather, the castle received good numbers of visitors, with our living history displays being busy throughout the day and the timetabled talks proving popular.

Castle volunteer photographer Mike Pounder has kindly taken some wonderful photos of the site and the group, available on his website.

Your humble scribe taking a well earned snooze.
