The castle later passed to various other owners, notably Charles Brandon who turned it into a Tudor palace.<br \/>\nIn 1643 large parts of the castle were destroyed or damaged during the Civil War. The Great Tower narrowly escsaped demolition after the King&#8217;s defeat, but was spared after repeated appeals.<br \/>\nIn 1693 the last Earl of Lincoln died and the castle was inherited by the Fortesque family who never lived in it, allowing it to fall into a derelict and ruinous condition, with the ground floor used as a cattle shed. The Fortesque family sold the castle in 1910 to an American consortium, and the fireplaces were ripped out and sold separately to an American collector.<br \/>\nFollowing protests, Lord Curzon of Kedleston in dramatic circumstances bought the castle and recovered the fireplaces, which were reinstated. Lord Curzon had the castle restored to its present condition.<br \/>\nAdjoining the castle is a large church which is worth a visit, and also a row of almshouses.<br \/>\nIt is possible to visit all the levels of the castle and the roof, from which there are fine views of the countryside. Each principal floor has a large, high room and various niches.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3653\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0306.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0306-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Chamber\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3653\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chamber<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3654\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3654\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0307.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0307-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fireplace\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3654\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fireplace<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3655\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0308.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0308-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Vaulted passage\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3655\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vaulted passage<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3656\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0309.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0309-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Chamber\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3656\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chamber<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3657\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0310.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0310-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fireplace\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3657\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fireplace<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3658\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0311.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tattersall_0311-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dovecote\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3658\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farmers&#8217;
