Oliver Cromwell was born on April 25th 1599. Since his death as Lord Protector in 1658 his fascinating life, ambitions, motives and actions have been the subject of much investigation and debate. Cromwell's family moved to Ely in 1936 and remained for some ten years. Today his home can be visited and we invite you to experience what domestic life would have been like in the seventeenth century in a variety of re-created period rooms as well as exhibitions detailing the Civil War and Cromwell's connection with fen life including a video on the draining of the fens. See Mrs Cromwell's kitchen, and meet Oliver Cromwell in his study, before visiting the Haunted Bedroom - if you dare! Guided tours and group visits by arrangement. The houses also doubles as the Tourist Information Centre and has a delightful gift shop full of gift ideas as well as souvenirs relating to Cromwell and the area. Check out our website for events at the house or call for further information.
