Tattershall Castle battle re-enactment

Last week I posted a picture of Tattershall Castle National trust property where we visited whilst we were on holiday in Lincolnshire. Now I’m back, and have access to a proper Internet connection, I can upload a few more pictures which I took on the day of the battle re-enactment.

Unfortunately, on the day, we were too far away from the loudspeakers to properly hear what was being announced, so I don’t know which battle was actually being re-enacted, although I think it was from the English Civil War. I can say it was very loud however, and the crowd seemed to enjoy it, as did we.

All these pictures were taken with my Fuji X-T1 mirrorless and the majority were with the 18-135mm kit lens, although a few of the wider angle shots were taken with a Tamron 10-24mm super wide angle. All pictures were shot in RAW and post processed in Lightroom.
