Portraits, artefacts and documents relating to the 17th-century political figure, Oliver Cromwell.
Compact museum housed in Cromwell's old school that gives a good oversight of his life. A short walk away from here you also have the remaining churchyard of the Church where he was baptised & the nursing home built on the site of the house in which Cromwell was born. Museum is free, optional PS3 donation. Apparently I was told a move or extension of the museum could be on the cards - they have so much stuff they cannot display it all!
A fantastic museum in great surrounds. Staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable about Cromwell, a good range of artefacts, items and information displayed. Also had a small visiting exhibition there too, which I presume changes throughout the year. Suggested donation of PS3 which is reasonable. Gave a balanced view to Cromwell, as well as busting myths that have built up over the years. Very impressed and a highlight of visiting the region. Would recommend that all go.
Very small ((just one big hall), but interesting and friendly. I know they will have more place i future, will be happy to return.
The staff is very friendly and know a lot about Cromwell. They will gladly tell you all about him and all the other cool things they know! The museum is completely free, but they ofcourse greatly appreciate any donations!
A free museum in the heart of huntingdon. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who gaves us an intro to the museum . The museum is small but has some fascinating items, like Cromwell hat, ceremonial sword and death mask. It is superbly curated and has some fascinating books in the small shop on site. Recommended
This small museum, where Oliver Cromwell was born and later went to school (and Samuel Pepys went to as well) is free to visit (you can donate). It is all about Cromwell, with artefacts and paintings. For those interested in Cromwell, or those visiting Huntingdon, it is worth a visit. It may not appeal for long to some, but I found some of the displays, portraits and information worth checking out. I also appreciated standing inside the hostoric building.
