Torksey Castle - Linc's

[Neosea]

Torksey Castle is a manor house or hall, located in the village of Torksey, Lincolnshire. Built in the 16th century on the banks of the river Trent. At present the building is on the Buildings at Risk Register.

The Tudor hall was built by the Jermyn family of Suffolk, it is thought to have been a gift to an elder son, but only lasted for about 100 years until the civil war. It is not known why the Hall was built in close to the river although it was constructed on a bank, not as close to the river as it is today. Sadly the Hall is prone to flood as it now sits on the wrong side of the modern flood bank.
