Cromwell's House in Ely

Oliver Cromwell's House in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England was the family home of Oliver Cromwell. The kitchen dates from around 1215, other parts being built later. In 1988, it was bought by the local council, and has been refurbished to show how it may have looked during Cromwell's lifetime.[1]

The former Lord Protector's family home is his only residence still in existence other than Hampton Court.[citation needed] Following a recent[when?] refurbishment the House now has a completely re-vamped Civil War exhibition with interactive displays and interpretations. There is also a timeline and family tree.
