Oliver Cromwell's House

General information

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, lived in Ely for 10 years. Today the House, the only surviving former Cromwell residence other than Hampton Court, has been recreated to show how his family would have lived in the mid 17th Century.

But who was he and why is he so important to British history?

"He was King in all but name"

"He banned Christmas"

"Some say his presence can still be felt in the House today"

Come and visit us and determine for yourself if he was a Hero or a Villain.

This beautiful house offers a full range of packages to groups, including guided tours with costumed guides.
