#DoctorWhoDay and alas, Oliver Cromwell still hasn't been seen on screen with that time travelling, universe saving, face changing Gallifreyan! A travesty! We're sure The Cromwell Museum would agree!

Our Festive Opening Hours

We're looking for a part-time fundraiser to join our team, helping to raise funds from grants, trusts, donors and events to support our work and bring the past to life. Could this be you? For more details, job description and application pack, visit: cromwellmuseum.org/about-us/vacan…

The ‘Cromwell cancelled Christmas’ claims are back. While there was a ban in the 17th century, with fines for festive felons, it was passed by Parliament, not Cromwell himself. The brilliant The Cromwell Museum have written about the moratorium on merriment at cromwellmuseum.org/cromwell/did-o…

Contrary to Parliament's Christmas ban, we will be closing for a few days over the festive period. We're taking a break 24 - 27 December and 31 December - 2 January, but are open other days as normal if you'd like to escape the leftover sprouts and pay us a visit! 😀🎄#Christmas

Make a day of it! Visit us too, just a hop over to the City of Ely!

A recent eBay purchase of 'The Story of Tudor & Stuart Britain Told in Pictures' contains a page dedicated to #OliverCromwell, including an illustration of Cromwell's House in Ely.

Next Saturday, 21 January, you can find out about some of the weird, wonderful and downright disgusting cures as the Museum has a visit from a #17thCentury Barber Surgeon! More details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/meet-th…

Ah December.... That most wonderful time of the year - we've begun to decorate Oliver Cromwell's House, and we've seen our first "Oliver Cromwell BANNED Christmas" post - it's a late one this year.... The Cromwell Museum We're guessing you've seen one before now?

What a truly remarkable exhibition! If previous ones are anything to go by, this is going to be brilliant - we can't wait to get over to see it!
