Write a review
Oliver Cromwell was born in Huntingdon in 1599. He became Lord Protector in 1653, the head of a British republic. His rise to power was extraordinary. This museum interprets his life and legacy through portraits, documents and objects associated with Cromwell. The Museum opened in 1962 in the old grammar school where Cromwell had been a pupil. Cromwell was driven by his religious commitment from the 1630s onwards. As MP for Cambridge he became an active soldier in the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. His success on the battlefield and his skill as a politician led him to power as Lord Protector. 2012 is the 50th anniversary of the museum.
